QJEEM22Ph2781: JEE Main 2022 Physics - Class 12 JEEM22Ph2781 Solution: Given below are two statements. Statement I : Electric…
Given below are two statements.
Statement I : Electric potential is constant within and at the surface of each conductor.
Statement II : Electric field just outside a charged conductor is perpendicular to the surface of the conductor at every point.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Multiple Choice Options
- A Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
- B Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- C Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- D Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Since in the bulk of a conductor
Potential would be constant.
Statement I is correct
Since a conductor's surface is equipotential, just outside is perpendicular to the surface.
