what are the properties of equipotential surfaces??
Answers
Answer:
Followings are the properties of equipotential surface:
The electric field is always perpendicular to an equipotential surface.
Two equipotential surfaces can never intersect.
For a point charge, the equipotential surfaces are concentric spherical
shells.
For a uniform electric field, the equipotential surfaces are planes normal to the x-axis
The direction of the equipotential surface is from high potential to low potential.
what are the properties of equipotential surfaces??
→ Equipotential surface is a surface at which potential is same everywhere.
» Work done in moving a test charge from one point to another on an equipotential surface is zero.
» Equipotential surfaces do not intersect each other.
» Equipotential surfaces indicate regions of strong or weak electric fields.
» Electric field is normal to the equipotential surface.
