STATEMENT -1 : the surface of a charged conductor is always equipotential .
STATEMENT -2 : Electic field lines are always perpendicular to the equipotential surface.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
For option `(B)` there is no charge in the conductor, thus `vec(E)` inside the conductor is zero and the potential is same as potential of the conductor inside the conductor is also varying.
