    Why are electric field lines perpendicular at a point on an equipotential surface of a conductor ?

    Can electric field exist longitudinal to an equipotential surface ? Give reason .

    Assertion: Electric field is aways directed perpendicular to an equipotential surface. Reason: Equipotential surface is a surface on which at each point potential is same.

    A number of spherical conductors of different radii have same potential. Then the surface charge density on them.

    Assertion: All the charge in a conductor gets distributed on whole of its outer surface. Reason: In a dynamic system, charges try to keep their potential energy minimum.
