Describe schematically the equipotential surfaces corresponding to
A field that uniformly increases in magnitude but remains in the same (say Z) direction

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As the electric field increases in the direction of Z-axis, the equipotential surface is normal to Z-axis i.e., in xy-plane and they become closer and closer as the field increases.
