Solution
No
Electric field is discontinuous across the surface of a charged conductor. However, the electric potential is continuous.
Concept: Electrical Potential Energy of a System of Two Point Charges and of Electric Dipole in an Electrostatic Field
Is there an error in this question or solution?
