what is equipotential surface in a capacitor, write it's properties.
Answers
Explanation:
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. The direction of the equipotential surface is from high potential to low potential.
Answer:
I THINK IT IS HELPFUL, TO YOU PLEASE MARK ME AS BRAINLIST
Explanation:
Any surface over which the potential is constant is called an equipotential surface. In other words, the potential difference between any two points on an equipotential surface is zero
Some important properties of equipotential surfaces :
1. Work done in moving a charge over an equipotential surface is zero.
2. The electric field is always perpendicular to an equipotential surface.
3. The spacing between equipotential surfaces enables us to identify regions of strong and weak fields.
4. Two equipotential surfaces can never intersect. If two equipotential surfaces could intersect, then at the point of intersection there would be two values of electric potential which is not possible.
