A

`0^(@)`

B

`90^(@)`

C

`180^(@)`

D

`270^(@)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
Electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential surface . Hence angle between an equipotential surface and electric lines of force is `90^(@)`.

Equipotential Surfaces and Dipole

Equipotential Surface || Electric Dipole

Assertion (A): The basic difference between magnetic lines of force and electric lines of force is electric lines of force are discontinuous and magnetic lines of force are continuous. Reason (R ): Magnetic lines of force exist in a magnet but no electric lines of force exists in a charged body.
