Is the surface of a closed object which encloses a point charge always equipotential?
Physics Asked on August 8, 2021
If I consider A and B to be two points and charge q is placed inside the cavity ( kindly ignore charge Q) . Is the surface always equipotential regardless of the shape of the body ? Is this possible when the charge q is not even at the geometrical centre? Can some please clarify my doubts?

Yes, with a few caveats.
- The body is a conductor
- There are no time-varying magnetic fields
- You are in equilibrium, (which is established in a concuctor in a very, very short time, for example $10^{-16}$ seconds)
