Relative distribution of charge density on the surface of a conducting solid depends on the
A)shape of the conductor.
B)mass density of the conductor.
C)type of metal of which the conductor is made.
D)strength of the earth's gravitational field.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The shape of the conductor determines the distribution of charge density on its surface. The charges will distribute themselves in such a way that the electric field inside the conductor is zero, and the charges will reside on the surface of the conductor. This redistribution of charges will depend on the shape of the conductor.
