1.

Write any two properties of equipotential surface.

Answer»

1. No two equipotential surfaces or planes cut each other because then there would be two values of electric potential at the intersection point, which is not possible.

2. The surface of a conductor is always equipotential. Actually, the whole volume of a conductor is at equal potential.

3. Equipotential surfaces indicate regions of strong or weak electric fields. Using E = \(-\frac{d V}{d r}\) or dr = \(-\frac{d V}{E}\)
since dV (i.er potential difference) is constant on the equipotential surface, so dr ∝ \(\frac{1}{E}\)

4. If E is strong, dr will be small and the separation of equipotential surfaces will small than the electric field is strong. The separation between equipotential surface is large than the electric field is weak.
