Problem
What is the magnitude of the electric field at any point inside a solid conductor that has reached electrostatic equilibrium?
(a) A field that increases linearly with distance from the center, reaching its maximum at the surface
(b) Equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the field just outside the surface
(c) Zero everywhere inside the conductor
(d) A uniform non-zero value proportional to the surface charge density
