When an asymmetrical conductor is electrically charged, it will have\

Question

Professor PC Thomas Classes · Answer

Whether the conductor is symmetric or unsymmetric the surface of a charged conductor is always an equipotential surface. If the conductor is symmetric the charge density will be uniform. If it is unsymmetric, the charge density will be different at different points. At points of greater curvature (smaller radius of curvature) the charge density will be large.
