`S_(1)` and `S_(2)` are two equipotential surfaces on which the potentials are not equal

A

`s_(1)` and `s_(2)` cannot intersect

B

`s_(1)` and `s_(2)` cannot both be plane surfaces

C

In the region between `s_(1)` and `s_(2)` , the field is maximum where they are closest to each other

D

A line of force from `s_(1)` and `s_(2)` must be perpendicular to both

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, C, D

`S_1 and S_2` can’t intersect because their potentials are not same.
`| vec E|=|(Delta V)/(Delta r)|` (D) Field lines are always perpendicular to equipotential surface.
