In a region of constant potential

A

the electric field is uniform.

B

the electric field is zero.

C

there can be no charge inside the region.

D

both (b) and (c ) are correct.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In a region of constant potential
`E=-"dV"/"dr"=0 " " (because "V=constant")`
i.e., electric field is zero , so there can be no charge inside the region.
