Question

Electric field will be maximum outside the conductor and magnetic field will be maximum inside the conductor. State True/False.

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question in exam.

I want to ask this question from Ampere Law in portion Magnetostics of Electromagnetic Theory

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) True

For explanation I would say: At the conductor-free space boundary, electric field will be maximum and magnetic field will be minimum. This implies electric field is zero inside the conductor and increases as the radius increases and the magnetic field is zero outside the conductor and decreases as it approaches the conductor.
