Assertion (A): Two equipotential surfaces can never intersect.
Reason (R) : Potential at all points of an equipotentialsurface is uniform.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion is false but reason is true.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Two equipotential surfaces can never intersect because at the point of intersection there may be two potentials which is not possible.
