What type of surface is the surface of a conductor? |
Equipotential Unipolar Exopotential Bipolar
|
Equipotential |
Electric field at any point is equal to the negative of the potential gradient. But inside a conductor, the electric field is zero. Hence, the electric potential is constant throughout the volume of a conductor and has the same value on its surface. Thus the surface of a conductor is equipotential. |
