Question
Which of the following statements is correct?
✓

Answer

  1. The surface of a charged conductor is equipotential.
Explanation:
In conductors, charges are equally distributed over the surface of the conductor. Therefore the potential throughout the surface is the same, i.e. equipotential. The electric field is a vector quantity and the field lines cut the equipotential surfaces at 90 degrees. The field lines due to a point charge are radial.
