Can two equipotential surfaces intersect...

Can two equipotential surfaces intersect each other ? Justify your answer.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, they cannot intersect at any point, because if two equipotential surfaces intersect at a point then there will be two values of electric potential at one point, which is impossible.
