What happens to the electric field inside a conductor when free charges arrange themselves on its surface?
To explain: The electric field inside a conductor when free charges arrange themselves on its surface?
Explanation of Solution
In conductor charge arrange themselves properly on the surface due to repulsion between the charges. The arrangement is in such way that the electric field inside conductor become zero. Since the electric field inside a conductor is zero, so the electric field can only depicted in the outer region of the conductor.
