Identify the correct properties of equipotential surfaces among the following. (A) No work is done in moving a test charge over an equipotential surface. Choose the correct answer from the options given below: |
(A), (B) and (C) only (A), (B) and (D) only (A), (B), (C) and (D) (B), (C) and (D) only |
(A), (B), (C) and (D) |
The correct answer is Option (3) → (A), (B), (C) and (D) (A) True: Work done $W = q \Delta V = 0$ on an equipotential surface. (B) True: Electric field is always normal to equipotential surface, otherwise work would be done. (C) True: Stronger field implies greater potential gradient implies surfaces closer. (D) True: Two equipotential surfaces cannot intersect, otherwise one point would have two potentials. Correct properties: (A), (B), (C), (D) |
