Question

Depict the equipotential surfaces due to (i) an electric dipole (ii) two identical negative charges separated by a small distance.

Answer 1

• Equipotential surface is that surface which is having same potential at every point of that surface.

• Electric potential surface for the dipole is shown in the figure.
• We know that dipole consists of two charges i.e., positive charge and a negative charge.
• Equipotential lines arises from positive charge and merges into the negative charge.
• Similarly in the case of two identical negative charge all the lines are entering into it (As shown in figure)

Answer 2

The equipotential surface due to an electric dipole and two identical negative charges is shown in the attached figures.

Explanation:

An electric dipole consists of two equal and opposite charges separated by some distance. Equipotential lines and electric field are always perpendicular to the each other. The equipotential surface due to an electric dipole is shown in figure 1.  

The equipotential surface due to two identical negative charges separated by a small distance is shown in figure 2.
