What type of surface is the surface of a conductor?(a) Equipotential(b) Unipolar(c) Unipotential(d) BipolarI have been asked this question in an interview.I would like to ask this question from Electrostatics of Conductors in division Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (a) Equipotential

Explanation: ELECTRIC FIELD at any POINT is equal to the negative of the potential gradient. But inside a conductor, the electric field is zero. Hence, the electric potential is constant throughout the volume of a conductor and has the same VALUE on its surface. Thus the surface of a conductor is equipotential.
