MCQ
 A charged conductor has its charge only on its outer surface. This statement is true for which of the following?
  • A
    For all conductors.
  • B
    Only for spherical conductors.
  • C
    For hollow conductors.
  • D
    For those conductors which don’t have sharp edges.
✓

Answer

  1. For all conductors.

Explanation:

Charge remains on the outer surface of a conductor, irrespective of the shape and size of the conductor and also for hollow and solid conductors both. But if there is a sharp edge in the conductor, surface charge density will be more at that point. The surface charge density is uniform in the case of a sphere.
