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

the electric field shall necessarily charge if a charge is placed outside the region.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B, C
The electric field intensity E and electric potential V are relatd as E=0 and for V=constant, `(dV)/(dr)=0`
This imply that electric field intensity E=0.
