Question

Select True or False for the following statements about conductors in electrostatic equilibrium. 1. The electric field inside the conducting material is always zero. a) True b) False 2. Just outside the surface of a conductor, the electric field is always zero. a) True b) False 3. Charges prefer to be uniformly distributed throughout the volume of a conductor. a) True b) False 4. All points of a conductor are at the same potential. a) True b) False

Answer 1

1- True

2- False

3- False

4-False

Step-by-step explanation:

1) That's because the charge is uniformly distributed on the surface

2) Because of (1) the charge is not zero outside the surface

3) The charge is uniformly distributed on the volume only on insulating materials, that not apply to conductive materials.

4) That's not true unless the current is zero, the conductive material has resistance so the potential will vary along its body.
