Question
*True or False*
1.A conductor at equilibrium has the same potential throughout itself, both on the surface and inside
2. When a conductor is at equilibrium, if it has an empty cavity, the E field INSIDE the cavity must be zero. The potential inside the cavity is a constant and equal to the potential of the conductor.
3.Two conducting spheres with radius r1 and r2 and charges q1 and q2, respectively, are connected with a conducting wire. The one with more charge will have a higher potential.
4. A conducting sphere with charge Q at equilibrium has zero E field inside it. The E field outside it is the same as that of a point charge Q, E=keQ/r2. (r is the distance to the center)
5. When a conductor is at equilibrium, the E field INSIDE is zero, so the potential inside is a constant everywhere, but may not be zero.
6. A conductor at equilibrium has the same potential on the entire surface and has zero potential inside.
