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.
