NEET 2026 Physics question
Which of the following statements are correct? A. Inside a conductor, the electrostatic field is zero. B. Electric field at the surface of a charged conductor does not depend on its surface charge density. C. The interior of a charged conductor can have no excess charge in the static situation. D. At the surface of a charged conductor, the electrostatic field must be normal to the surface at every point. E. The electrostatic potential is zero everywhere inside a charged conductor. Choose the **correct** answer from the options given below:
Solution
A is true (free charges rearrange until the net field inside is zero). B is false: the surface field is , directly proportional to the surface charge density. C is true: by Gauss's law, with inside, any excess charge must reside on
