Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- The electric field inside a conducting sphere is zero, so the potential remains constant at the value it reaches the surface.
- When a conductor is at equilibrium, the electric field inside it is constrained to be zero.
- Since the electric field is equal to the rate of change of potential, this implies that the voltage inside a conductor at equilibrium is constrained to be constant at the value it reaches the surface of the conductor.
- A good example is the charged conducting sphere, but the principle applies to all conductors at equilibrium.
