Any excess charge given to a conductor, not always resides on the outer surface of the conductor.

All charge on a conductor must reside on its outer surface.' This statement is true

STATEMENT -1: Excess charge on a conductor resides enetirely on the outer surface . STATEMENT -2 : Lile charges repel one another .

Assertion: All the charge in a conductor gets distributed on whole of its outer surface. Reason: In a dynamic system, charges try to keep their potential energy minimum.

It is said that any charge given to a conductor comes to its surface. Should all the protons come to the surface? Should all the electrons come to the surface? Should all the free electrons come to the surface?
