Question

Electric field intensity of charged conductor

Answer 1

Answer:

In electrostatics free charges in a good conductor reside only on the surface. So the free charge inside the conductor is zero.

So the field in it is caused by charges on the surface. Since charges are of the same nature and distribution is UNIFORM, the electric fields cancel each other.

Answer 2

Answer:

In electrostatics free charges in a goodconductor reside only on the surface. So the free charge inside the conductor is zero. So the field in it is caused by charges on the surface. Since charges are of the same nature and distribution is UNIFORM, the electric fields cancel each other.
