Which of the following statements is 'WRONG' for the conductors?

Which of the following statements is 'WRONG' for the conductors?
  1. In static situation, the interior of conductor can have no charge.
  2. The net electrostatic field is zero in the interior of a conductor.
  3. The electrostatic field just outside the surface of charged conductor must be tangential to the surface at any point
  4. The electrostatic potential is constant within and on the surface of a conductor.

Solution

The electric field just outside the surface of the conductor is perpendicular to the surface which is a property of conductors in electrostatic equilibrium.
