State whether the given statement is True or False -A small isolated conductor has a large positive charge- The electric field inside this conductor will be zero-TrueFalse

Toppr Admin · Accepted Answer

Electric field inside a conductor is always zero- In electrostatics- free charges in a good conductor resides only on the surface- So- free charges inside the conductor is zero- So the field in it is caused by the charges on the surface- Since charges are of same nature and distribution is uniform- the electric fields inside cancel each other-
