Question

5. Discuss the various properties of conductors
in electrostatic equilibrium.​

Answer 1

Properties of a Conductor in Electrostatic Equilibrium

The electric field is zero inside a conductor. Just outside a conductor, the electric field lines are perpendicular to its surface, ending or beginning on charges on the surface. Any excess charge resides entirely on the surface or surfaces of a conductor.
