3. A charged conductor has its charge only on its outer surface. This statement is true for which of the following? a) For all conductors b) Only for spherical conductors c) For hollow conductors d) For those conductors which don’t have sharp edges
Answer: a Explanation: Charge remains on the outer surface of a conductor, irrespective of the shape and size of the conductor and also for hollow and solid conductors both. But if there is a sharp edge in the conductor, surface charge density will be more at that point. The surface charge density is uniform in the case of a sphere.
