Inside a conductor, Since the electric field is equal to the rate of change of potential, this implies that the voltage inside a conductor at equilibrium is constrained to be constant at the value it reaches at the surface of the conductor.

Potential V = q/4? ? r where q- charge V-potential due to the charge q r-distance from the charge q Here ? means epsilon naught. Potential is a scalar quantity, it doesn't have direction. It simply gets added as any normal numbers. So lets assume that the two charges are a distance 2d apart. So the centre is at a distance of d from both the charges. -q ----------.---------- +q We have to find the potential at the center. So Potential at the center due to charge q is V1 = q/4? ? d and due to charge -q is V2 = -q/4? ? d. So the total potential is V1 + V2, which when you add is zero. As you can see, the potential will be 0 only when the charges have opposite signs, because only then both the potentials will cancel each other and give 0. Therefore, the answer is Option B. read less

A lift is accelerated upward. Will the apparent weight of a person inside the lift increase, decrease or remain the same relative to its real weight? If the lift is going with uniform speed, then?
Thd apparent weight of the person will increase. When in uniform speed then acceleration is zero, so no change in weight.

Asked this before but can't find the link to it. So how many teachers employ caning as a punishment method? I have read both pros and cons to it. Curious about your take on it.
Still many teaches do. But I am against it. It instills fears in mind of students rather than disciplining them.
