JEE Main 2022 Physics question

PhysicsElectrostatic Potential and CapacitanceJEE Main 2022

Given below are two statements. Statement I : Electric potential is constant within and at the surface of each conductor. Statement II : Electric field just outside a charged conductor is perpendicular to the surface of the conductor at every point. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options give below.

Answer: (1)

Solution

The body of a conductor is an equipotential, so the potential is constant within and on its surface (Statement I is correct). The tangential component of the electric
