Can there be a potential difference between two adjacent conductors carrying the same charge ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Yes, if the sizes are different .
Capacitance of capacitor ` C= (Q)/(V)` where Q is the charge of conductor and V is the electric potential of conductors.
For given charge potential `V prop (1)/(C)` . So two adjacent conductors carrying the same charge of different dimensions may have different potentials.
