How does the potential of the conductor decreases when it is charged

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the behavior of electric potential in conductors when influenced by nearby charged bodies. It is established that charging a conductor typically results in an increase in electric potential, contradicting the initial assertion of a decrease. The interaction between negative charges and external electric fields is crucial in understanding these dynamics.

how does the potential of the conductor decreases when it is charged by a charged body that means if the negative charges are attracted or repeled due to nearby charged body the potential decreases .how is that

Can you please rephrase your question as I fail to comprehend it completely.

Charging a body induces an increase in potential, not decrease. As for the rest of your question, I don't really know what you are referring to.
