NEET 2026 Physics Conductors and Insulators Multiple Correct Question
Which of the following statements are correct?
A. Inside a conductor, the electrostatic field is zero.
B. Electric field at the surface of a charged conductor does not depend on its surface charge density.
C. The interior of a charged conductor can have no excess charge in the static situation.
D. At the surface of a charged conductor, the electrostatic field must be normal to the surface at every point.
E. The electrostatic potential is zero everywhere inside a charged conductor.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A, B and D only
A, C and E only
A, C and D only
C, D and E only
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Inside a conductor, the electrostatic field is zero, and the interior cannot have excess charge in static conditions. At the surface, the field is normal to the surface. The potential inside can be constant but not necessarily zero.
