Question

A small isolated conductor has a large positive charge.
What is true of the electric field and the electric potential inside this conductor?

• A. Electric Field inside Conductor - Electric Potential inside Conductor, large and positive - large and positive
• B. Electric Field inside Conductor - Electric Potential inside Conductor, zero - zero
• C. Electric Field inside Conductor - Electric Potential inside Conductor, zero - large and positive
• D. Electric Field inside Conductor - Electric Potential inside Conductor, large and positive - zero
• E. Electric Field inside Conductor - Electric Potential inside Conductor, large and positive - large and negative

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Electric Field inside Conductor - Electric Potential inside Conductor, zero - large and positive

Electric field inside the conductor is always zero i.e $E=0$

Electric potential inside the conductor $V=\frac{kQ}{r}$ i.e V is large and positive.

Hence option C is correct.
