Equipotential surfaces at a great distance from a collection of charges whose total sum is not zero are approximately. |
Spherical Planes Paraboloidal Ellipsoidal |
Spherical |
The correct answer is Option (1) → Spherical At large distance, the electric field behaves as if it originated from a point charge, and the potential due to such change is spherically symmetric. Thus, the equipotential surfaces will be approximately spherical at large distances. |
