Inside a conductor in the static situation, the electrostatic field is:
AAt its maximum
BConstant, nonzero
CPurely radial
DExactly zero
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Exactly zero
1. Free charges would move if any field remained.
2. They rearrange until no field is left.
3. So the field inside is zero.
