Justify why two equipotential surfaces cannot intersect.

Equipotential Surfaces and Dipole

Can two equipotential surfaces cut each other?

Draw equipotential surface for a dipole.

Define an equipotential surface. Draw equipotential surfaces : (i) in the case of single point charge and (ii) in a constant electric field in Z -direction. Why the equpotential surfaces about a single charge are not equidistant ? (iii) Can electric field exist tangential to an equipotential surface ? Given reason.
