What is true of a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium? Electrostatic equilibrium means that there is no current, i.e., no moving charges.  More than one choice may be true. Circle all true The electric field inside a conductor in equilibrium is zero. This is because any external electric field will cause the free charges in the conductor to redistribute to the surface until the electric field of these charges cancel out the external electric field leading to no net field inside the conductor. The electric field is always zero inside a conductor even if there

Microscopic view of current

In physics, the term current is expressed as the rate of flow of electric charges across the area per unit time (I=q/t). It propagates along in the direction of the motion of positive charges. When the current is caused by the motion of electrons, the direction of the current is opposite to the flow.
