Potential inside a charged solid conductor is what?
ASame as the surface value
BRising towards the centre
CFalling towards the centre
DZero at every interior point
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Same as the surface value
With zero interior field and no tangential surface field, no work moves a test charge, so potential is uniform.
