Conductor in Static Electric Field

Inside a conductor, the electric field and charge are zero, thus:
ρ = 0

E = 0

Under static conditions the E field on the conductor surface is always perpendicular to the surface.

Since E field can be expressed as:
E = -∇V, if E= 0, the integral of V must be a constant, thus for E = 0, the voltage must be the same everywhere in the conductor.
