In a system of several conductors in equilibrium, what is true of their potentials?
AEach varies inside it
BAll share one value
CAll are always zero
DEach has its own constant
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Each has its own constant
Each conductor is an equipotential, but the constant can differ from one conductor to another.
