NEET 2002 Physics question

Some charge is being given to a conductor. Then its potential :

(1)Is maximum at surface
(2)Is maximum at centre
(3)Is remain same throughout the conductorCorrect
(4)Is maximum somewhere between surface and centre

Answer: (3)

Solution

Extra charge given to a conductor resides on its outer surface and, in electrostatic equilibrium, the electric field inside the conductor is zero. Since inside, the potential is constant throughout the volume and
