Conductors in Electrostatic Equilibrium

Electrostatic Equilibrium No net flow of electric charge No current

5 Characteristics of Conductors in Electrostatic Equilibrium 1.Electric field inside conductor is zero 2.Any net charge on an isolated conductor resides at the surface 3.The electric field just outside the surface of an isolated conductor is perpendicular to the surface

5 Characteristics of Conductors in Electrostatic Equilibrium 4.On an irregularly shaped conductor, surface charge density is greatest where the radius of curvature is smallest. 5.Every point on the surface of a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium is at the same potential – The surface is an equipotential
