State main characteristics of an equipotential surface. |
|
Answer» Solution :The main characteristics of an EQUIPOTENTIAL surface are as given below : (i) An equipotential surface is a surface with a constant value of electric potential at all points. (ii) No work is REQUIRED to be done to move a charge on an equipotential surface. (iii) For any charge configuration, equipotential surface through a point is normal to the electric field at that point. (iv) No TWO equipotential surfaces can EVER intersect each other. (v) Relative CLOSENESS of equipotential surfaces having a given potential difference means a region of stronger electric field. |
