Question

What is an equipotential body?

Options

• A conductor with a nonzero electric field at every interior point.

• A cavity containing a charge at its centre.

• A conductor whose excess charge is distributed throughout its volume.

• A conductor in electrostatic equilibrium with all points at the same electric potential.

Answer 1

A conductor in electrostatic equilibrium is an equipotential body. This means all points on it are at the same electric potential.
