Question

Can electric field lines pass through the conductor?


Open in App
Solution

Explanation:

We know that,

A conductor has a large number of free electrons. It creates an internal field opposite to that of the external field.

Therefore the external field is canceled out by the internal field and the net electric field inside a conductor is zero.

Hence, the electric field lines do not pass through a conductor.
