Question

A charge of Q coulomb is placed on a solid piece of metal of irregular shape. The charge will distribute itself

Easy

A

Uniformly in the metal object
B

Uniformly on the surface of the object
C

Such that the potential energy of the system is minimised
D

Such that the total heat loss is minimised
