The electric potential inside an object made from a conducting material is O O z

Question

The electric potential inside an object made from a conducting material is O O zero everywhere. greatest near the center of the object. greatest at the surface of the object. unaffected by the presence of the conductor constant, but not necessarily zero. O O Incorrect. A conducting material is one in which charges can move freely, so no work is required to move a charge from the surface of the object to the center. Therefore, the potential at the surface is equal to the potential at the center of the object.

Explanation / Answer

Potential is defined as work done per unit charge to move from one place to another. Now, inside a conductor charges are free to move i.e no work is required to move the charge which means that the POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE is zero. Which means that it is constant everywhere but not Zero.

So option E
