Which is TRUE of a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium?
ACharges spread throughout its volume.
BExcess charge resides on the outer surface.
CThe interior electric field is nonzero.
DThe material acquires a permanent dipole.
Explanation
📌 In electrostatic equilibrium, any excess charge on a conductor moves to the outer surface. The interior field is zero because free charges rearrange to cancel it. Distractor A: charges do not stay inside; C: interior field is zero, not nonzero; D: not a general property.
