In a region of constant potential

A

the electric field si uniform

B

the electric field is zero

C

there can be no charge inside the region

D

the electric field shall necessarilly change if a charge is placed outside the region

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C

In a region of constant potential (V = constant) , `E = - (dV)/(dr) = 0`, i.e., electric field is zero.
As `E = 0`, there can be no charge inside the region.
Choices (b) and (c ) are correct.
