Question 17
Given the diagram below, what characteristic of electric fields inside conductors can be derived?
A. Electric fields are strongest along the most curved surface.
B. Excess charges exist in the outer surface of the conductor.
C. Electric fields are directed perpendicular to the surface of the conducting object
D. If an object has reached electrostatic equilibrium, there is no parallel electric field component
Editorial task: assess the alternatives and justify whether a unique answer exists.
