alleryElectric field INSIDE a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium is:
AMaximum
BZero
CVariable
D-q/ε₀
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Zero
In a conductor at electrostatic equilibrium, charges have rearranged so that net E inside the conductor is exactly zero.
This is the basis of electrostatic shielding (Faraday cage).
