Practicing Success
A metallic solid sphere is placed in a uniform electric field. The lines of force follow the path(s) shown in figure as : |
1 2 3 4 |
4 |
Electric field lines never enter a metallic conductor (E = 0, inside a conductor) and they fall normally on the surface of a metallic conductor (because whole surface is at same potential and lines are perpendicular to equipotential surface). |
