Question

If an excess charge is placed on an isolated conductor, then, that amount of charge

• A. gets neutralized.
• B. resides on the surface of conductor.
• C. move inside the conductor.
• D. either resides on the surface of conductor or gets neutralized.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

resides on the surface of conductor.

As the charge inside the conductor is zero, therefore extra charge stays on the outer surface of the conductor.
