Draw 3 equipotential surfaces corresponding to a field that uniformly increases in magnitude but remains constant along positive Z-direction. How are these surfaces different from that of a constant electric field along Z-direction ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Equipotential surface increase with increase in magnitude.
Since, `E= - (dV)/(dr)`
The negative sign shows that the direction of electric field `vec(E)` is the direction of decreasing potential.
