Explain in short the effects inside a metalic conductor placed in an external electric field
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 5 years ago

The net electric charge of a conductor resides entirely on its surface. (The mutual repulsion of like charges from Coulomb's Law demands that the charges be as far apart as possible, hence on the surface of the conductor.) The electric field inside the conductor is zero. When an electric field E is applied to a conductor, free charges inside the conductor move until the field is perpendicular to the surface. ... The free charge has been brought to the conductor's surface, leaving electrostatic forces in equilibrium. A conductor placed in an electric field will be polarized.
