Q.
Why do extra charges given to a conductor reside on the outer surface?
Q.
Two statements
Statement I: A small metallic sphere is placed at the center of a large charged spherical shell and two are the connected by a wire. The charge will not flow from outer sphere to inner sphere.
Statement II: A charged conductor is placed inside the hollow conductor and two are connected by wire. The whole charge will flow on the outer surface of the outer conductor.
