TITLE: Electric potential and maximum charge on a conductor
QUESTION [2 upvotes]: Does increasing the amount of electric charge on a conductor cause an increase in its electric potential to a point at which it becomes maximum; where it can hold no more extra charge?
Is it true? How?
I read it from a book while studying capacitance.
Does this idea sound foolish?

REPLY [1 votes]: If some charge is given to a conductor then its potential will be remain same through out the region, because work done on every charge is same.
