  • question_answer
    An elliptical cavity is curved within a perfect conductor. A positive charge q is placed at the centre of the cavity. The points A and B are on the cavity surface as shown in the figure below.                      

    A)  electric field near A in the cavity = electric field near B in the cavity

    B)  charge density at A = charge density at B

    C)  potential at A = potential at B

    D)  None of the above

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     The charge distribution on the inner surface of cylinder (cavity) is non-uniform, so E near A is not equal to E near B in the cavity. The conductor is an equipotential surface, so potentials at A and B are same. Charge density depends upon radius of curvature.
