Question

equipotential surfaces and its properties

Answer 1

Equipotential surfaces are those surface in whi
ch potential is same everywhere.
Properties
Equipotential surfaces do not intersects each other.
Equipotential surface is normal to electric field.

Answer 2

Answer:

Any surface over which the electric potential is same everywhere is called an equipotential surface.

The properties of equipotential surface are:

• No work is done in moving a charge between any two points on an equipotential surface. This is so because the potential difference between any two points on the surface is zero.

• The electric field, and hence lies of force, are everywhere at right angles to the equipotential surface. This is so because there is no potential gradient along any direction parallel to the surface and no electric field parallel to the surface.
