why electric lines of force always perpendicular to conductor surface ?

-
Reason:-
We know electric lines of force is a vector quantity if it inclined in some angle to the surface of conductor then it resolve into two components i.e one tangential component and another perpendicular component.tangential component accelerate the local charges(charges of the conductor)in their direction.so charge can move but in electrostatic charge could not be move .but In case of perpendicular electric lines of force it could  cancelled out due to some unspecified force so perpendicular field of lines can not accelerate the charges of conductor and  it verify the law of electrostatic.  it is the answer to the question why electric field lines always perpendicular to conductor surface.
Look at the spherical conductor surface which gave you more clarity about my words,
why electric lines of force always perpendicular to conductor surface ?

Are you satisfied by this answer

What is Freundlich adsorption isotherm ?

-
Image
Explanation:- The variation in the amount of gas adsorbed by the adsorbent with pressure at constant temperature can be expressed by means of a curve termed as adsorption isotherm. According to freundlich isotherm,     The extent of adsorption of a gas per unit mass of adsorbent depends upon the pressure of that gas. I.e Look at the Graph,(x/m) vs (p) Equation (1) is the general form of freundlich adsorption isotherm. Case-1( at low pressure) If  x/m =kp¹ That implies 1/n=1 I.e  n=1 So at low pressure freundlich adsorption isotherm holds good because initially their is more adsorption occur. Case-2 (at high pressure) If x/m=constant  i.e1/n=0 That implies n=infinity So at high pressure x/m independent on pressure because after saturation pressure their is no adsorption occur due to no space on adsorbent. At saturation pressure Amount of gas adsorbed=amount of gas desorbed. Look at the logarithm graph of equation (1) This is al...
