Answer:

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

When an electric field intersects the surface of a conductor at a right angle, it is referred to as an electrostatic condition. This occurs because conductors have the property of being electrically neutral and they do not allow electric charges to flow through their interior. The electric field lines are perpendicular to the surface of the conductor at the point where the electric field intersects the surface.
