Question

Hello people ~

Which of the following options are correct?
If a conductor has a potential V 4- 0 and there are no charges anywhere else outside, then _____
(a) there must not be charges on the surface or inside itself.
(b) there cannot be any charge in the body of the conductor.
(c) there must be charges only on the surface.
(d) there must be charges inside the surface.
​

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the line that there is no charges anywhere else outside means the charge is placed in equilibrium position.

Hence there cannot be any charge in the body of conductor

Answer 2

The charge would be in equilibrium so there would be no charge in the body of the conductor.

Answer:

(b) there cannot be any charge in the body of the conductor
