Answer 1

No two equIpotential bodies cannot cut each other.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Equipotential surface:-The surface area of all those points has the same potentiality is specified as the equipotential surface.

• Two normal's can be drawn at the intersection point.

• Lines for the electric field are also considered to be perpendicular to the surface of equipotential.

• This means that two distinct paths of the electric field are possible at that point, which is not physically possible.

• Therefore, there are two equipotential surfaces that cannot cut each other.
