प्रश्न
Can the potential function have a maximum or minimum in free space?
Advertisements
उत्तर
No, the potential function does not have a maximum or minimum in free space, it is because the absence of atmosphere around the conductor prevents the phenomenon of electric discharge or potential leakage.
