Given below are some statements regarding the electrostatic properties of conductors: A. When a neutral conductor is placed in an external uniform electric field, the net electric field inside the conductor is zero. B. The surface charge density is uniform across the entire surface of an irregularly shaped charged conductor. C. Electric field lines cannot pass through a conducting material under static conditions. D.

Step-by-step solution

Statement A is correct because under static conditions, charges in a conductor redistribute themselves to cancel the external electric field, making the net electric field inside zero. Statement B is incorrect because the surface charge density of an irregularly shaped conductor is inversely proportional to the radius of curvature. It is not uniform. Statement C is correct because the electric field inside a conductor is zero, so electric field lines do not pass through it. Statement D is incorrect because the elec
