Electric field inside a solid conductor, positive or negative,
is zero.
As charges want to attain equilibrium so they come on surface , to minimize the repulsion among them. So, the total charge of a conductor resides on its surface and the net charge inside a conductor remains zero. Thus, field inside it is zero.

2) Describe the electric field inside a positively charged solid conductor? Explain your reasoning in detail....
A solid spherical conductor is charged positively and in electrostatic equilibrium. Which of the following is true. a. the total charge on the conductor must be zero. b. the electric field inside the conductor must be zero. c. any charges on the conductor must be uniformly distributed throughout the sphere. d. the electric field lines are radialy inward from the surface.
The electric field is zero everywhere inside a charged conductor in electrostatic equilibrium. Can you infer that the potential is everywhere zero (Yes/No)? Explain your answer.
Why is the electric field inside a conductor always equal to zero? Explain conceptually and then provide a mathematical example of the calculation of the electric field inside your choice of conductor (pick a specific geometry). Provide a good picture.
Draw five (5) equipoteintial lines and seven (7) electric field
lines for the positively charged conductor givne in the following
figure.
A positively charged ball is brought near to a neutral conductor, polarizing the conductor. Then the conductor is grounded, which allows negative charge to flow onto the conductor. See below positat entnas a) Now the positive ball is taken away, and then the ground connection is removed. Is the final charge on the conductor positive, negative, or neutral? Carefully explain your reasoning. b) What if, instead, the ground connection is removed first. and then the positive ball is taken away?...
Q4 : The electric potential inside a charged spherical conductor of radious R is given by V = KERA and the potential outside is given by V = ke Q Derive the electric field a)inside b) outside the spherical conductor. ID
1 (a) Explain why there is no electic field inside an uncharged, or statically charged, [2] conductor (b) An uncharged perfectly conducting solid sphere of radius a is placed with its centre at the origin in a region of uniform electric field E = E02. The presence of the sphere modifies the electric field (and the potential) i. Show that the initial potential in spherical coordinates is Vinit (T, 0, )Eor cos 0 everywhere (i.e. before the sphere was placed...
The electric potential inside a charged spherical conductor of radius R is given by V = keQ/R, and the potential outside is given by V = keQ/r. Using Er = -dV/dr, derive the electric field inside and outside this charge distribution. (Use the following as necessary: ke, Q, r and R.) (a) inside E = ? (b) outside E = ?
2. The electric field outside a positively charged metal, but very near the surface, is o/Eo. The electric field outside a single positively charged parallel (as in capacitor) plate is 0/2€0. How can thinking about the problem of two positively charged parallel plates help to understand this problem?
