Question
Why must the electrostatic potential inside a hollow charged conductor be the same at every point?
Open in App
Solution
As inside the conductor the electric field is zero so
E
i
n
=
−
d
V
i
n
d
r
=
0
It indicates that
V
i
n
is constant inside the sphere so potential at every point inside the conductors are same.
