Question

Why is there no charge inside a conductor?

Answer 1

Conductor:

1. It is a substance that allows electricity to flow through it.
2. When voltage is applied, the charge carriers (electrons or ions) inside a conductor move easily among the atoms.

Electric Charge inside a conductor:

1. The free electrons inside a conductor are responsible for the current flow in it.
2. Since there are a large number of electrons present, the repulsive force becomes very high.
3. So, these electrons move to the surface to reduce repulsion among electrons, consequently, the net charge inside the conductor becomes zero.

Hence, there is no charge inside a conductor.
