In electrostatic equilibrium, excess charge on a conductor resides entirely on its outer surface.

Inside a conductor in static (electrostatic) equilibrium, the electric field must be zero everywhere in the bulk material — otherwise free charges would keep moving. Any excess charge placed on a solid conductor therefore redistributes itself until it lies entirely on the outer surface, arranging itself so that the field inside is exactly cancelled and the surface becomes an equipotential. For an isolated conductor this distribu …
