Equipotential surfaces

Options

A. are closer in regions of large electric fields compared to regions of lower electric fields.
B. will be more crowded near sharp edges of a conductor.
C. will be more crowded near regions of large charge densities.
D. will always be equally spaced.

Answer

A, B, C

Explanation

Equipotential surfaces are more crowded in the regions where electric field is stronger. It is observed that there are large charge densities on sharp edges of a charged conductor, and the electric field is stronger. Therefore, the equipotential surfaces will be more crowded near sharp edges of a charged conductor.
