Question

A charge given to any conductor resides on its outer
surface, because :-
(1) the free charge tends to be in its miniumum
potential energy state.
(2) the free charge tends to be in its minimum
kinetic energy state.
(3) the free charge tends to be in its maximum
potential energy state.
4) the free charge tends to be in its maximum
kinetic energy state.

Answer 1

Answer:

3, The electrostatic energy of a solid object (with specified shape and total charge) is minimum when that charge is spread over the surface. Like any other free dynamical system, the charge on a conductor will seek the configuration that minimizes its potential energy.
