Term
Using basic relationship between field and potential with conductors at electrostatic equilibrium
Definition
Any excess is located on the surface and electric field is zero at any of the interior point of a conductor in ee
Term
Field is other than 0 in conductor
Definition
Force on charge carriers would move, creating current but there can't be current in interior points so it must field must be 0 at all interior points
Term
Finding potential inside conductor
Definition
By connecting two points with a line and integrating Es, potential difference, deltaV= V2- V1 can be found along line as the electric field is 0 in the interior points so efield is 0 and the value of the integral is o=> so potential difference is zero so the two points are at the same potential in the electrostatic equilibrium conductor
