Electric field will be maximum outside the conductor and magnetic field will be maximum inside the conductor. State True/False.

Electric field will be maximum outside the conductor and magnetic field will be maximum inside the conductor. State True/False. Correct Answer True

At the conductor-free space boundary, electric field will be maximum and magnetic field will be minimum. This implies electric field is zero inside the conductor and increases as the radius increases and the magnetic field is zero outside the conductor and decreases as it approaches the conductor.
