| 1. | Two charges 2 uC and -2 °C are placed at points A and B 6 cm apart. (a) Identify an equipotential surface of the system. (b) What is the direction of the electric field at every point on this surface? | 
| Answer» ntify an equipotential SURFACE of the system.》 Equipotential surface are defined as that plane where all points have same potential.Equipotential sufaces are perpendicular to the lines of uniform Electric field. At MID point(3cm) , zero potential is formed.Since these are point charges, we can assume the surface in 3-D ,as EF lines are everywhere. At every perpendicular point crossing the field lines will be Equpotential surface.See the aatached image for graph!》Equipotential surface of the system is spherical sphere near the charges and straight infinite planes in the middle where EF is constant. (B) What is the DIRECTION of the electric field at every point on this surface?》The direction of electric field on this surface is perpendicularly outwards / radially outwards. Electric field will be away from positive charge and towards the negative. majorly in the direction of positive x-axis.See the attached image for surface. | |
