Question

what are the characterstics of equipotential surface?

Answer 1

Hello!!

____________________________________________

The characterstics of equi Potential Surface are :

• Two equipotential surface never intersect each other

• The electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential surface

• No work is done in moving in moving from one point to another in equipotential surface!

Thanks :)

Answer 2

Answer:

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.
