Charged Isolated Conductor

Charged Isolated Conductor. The electric field inside the conductor is zero. Why? If this were not so, the field would exert forces on the conduction (free) electrons, which are always present in a conductor.

  1. Charged Isolated Conductor The electric field inside the conductor is zero. Why? If this were not so, the field would exert forces on the conduction (free) electrons, which are always present in a conductor. Gauss' law permits us to prove the following important theorem about conductors: If an excess charge is placed on an isolated conductor, it will move entirely to the surface of the conductor. None will be found within the conductor.
