QUESTION:

Explain this statement: “In a static situation, the electric field at the surface of a conductor can have no component parallel to the surface because this would violate the condition that the charges on the surface are at rest.” Would this statement be valid for the electric field at the surface of an ?insulator?? Explain your answer and the reason for any differences between the cases of a conductor and an insulator.

Explain this statement: “In a static situation, the electric field at the surface of a conductor can have no component parallel to the surface because this would violate the condition that the charges on the surface are at rest.” Would this statement be valid for the electric field at the surface of an ?insulator?? Explain your answer and the reason for any differences between the cases of a conductor and an insulator.

ANSWER:

Introduction We have to discuss if the electric field due to unbalanced charge have to perpendicular to the surface. Step 1 No the statement does not hold true for the insulator. The charges in the conductor ar mobile. Now if the electric field is not perpendic
