What is the nature of equipotential surfaces in case of a positive point charge?(a) Circular(b) Spherical(c) Cubical(d) CylindricalThe question was asked in unit test.This key question is from Equipotential Surfaces topic in section Electrostatic Potential and Capacitance of Physics – Class 12 |
|
Answer» CORRECT answer is (b) Spherical The BEST I can explain: We know that electric field lines cross the EQUIPOTENTIAL surfaces perpendicularly. Electric field lines are generated radially from a POSITIVE point charge. Therefore, for holding both the CONDITIONS, the equipotential surfaces must be spherical. |
