alleryThe electrostatic potential inside and on the surface of a conductor is:
ALowest at the centre
BThe same everywhere
CZero everywhere
DHighest at the centre
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. The same everywhere
1. No work is done moving a charge inside or along the surface.
2. No work means no potential difference.
3. So the potential is constant throughout.
