Question

Why does a conductor do not have any charge present inside rather whatever charge is given to the conductor it deposits outside it???

Answer 1

charge or electric field?

Answer 2

charge..

Answer 4

Conductor doesn't have any Electric Field on it in a static position because Electric field would cause the free charges in the conductor to move.But it is a static situation.If it has charge inside then by gauss law you can see there would be an electric field inside.So charge deposits on the surface

Answer 5

can you please elaborate a bit more...

Answer 6

(The lecture I linked to above explains exactly what pavan just said in detail.)

Answer 7

thanks a million..@everyone..

Answer 8

Conductors have charges that are able to move throughout the conductor.Now consider a static situation.Means the charges are not moving.That means there is no net force on them.So there must not be a electric field on them which is caused by a resultant amount of charge.Initially the resultant charge is 0.But if you add more charges they will produce an electric field if they are in the conductor(you can see by gauss Law).So they are deposited at the surface

Answer 9

(I just watched the first part of the lecture above and he deals with the theoretical set up required to understand what's going on with conductors, but doesn't discuss conductors themselves. For conductors themselves, watch this lecture:
http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/physics/8-02-electricity-and-magnetism-spring-2002/video-lectures/lecture-5-electrostatic-shielding-faraday-cage/

In any case, these are all great lectures!)

Answer 10

charges apaulling them selfes tente to move away as posible to each other.
So they go to surface of conductor.
THAT is why gauss presicts q=0 iside

Answer 11

consetretion in surface is omogenic ONLY in sfaire
if any points exists there goes more charge

Answer 12

if not conductor charges unable to move stey in place
only if extreme field aplied moning is possible
