Question

For an irregularly shaped charged conductor the potential is :

• A. more at the flat parts
• B. more at the spherical parts
• C. more at the sharp edges
• D. same everywhere

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

same everywhere

The basic property of any conductor is that the potential at any point with in or on the surface of the conductor will have same potential due to field inside the conductor is zero.
i.e, $dV=-\int Edl=0$
or $V_b-V_a=0\Rightarrow V_a=V_b$
