Question

Why does the charge given to a conductor tend
to reside on the surface of the conductor.
​

Answer 1

Answer: CONDUCTORS HAVE FREE ELCTRONS

Explanation:

In all conductors, charges reside on the surface. The reason for this is that conductors have free electrons, that is, the electrons are loosely attached to the nucleus of the atoms in the conductors.

THANK YOU.

Answer 2

Answer:

Excesss charges are rejected from any body as they try to stay neutral, a conductive body have their electrons free to move then they will be forced by the field to concentrate where their presence is needed and away from where they bother each other, as a result the surface get charged becoming an equipotential surface (otherwise charges will moves following the potential gradient).
