C)where curvature is least
D)where curvature is greatest

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The charge per unit area (surface charge density) on an irregularly shaped conducting solid is greatest where the curvature is greatest. This is because electric field lines are more concentrated in areas of high curvature, leading to a higher accumulation of charge in these regions.
