Equipotential surface associated with an electric field which increasing in magntude along the x drection are

A

Plane parallel to yz-plane

B

planes parallel to xy-plane

C

plane paralle to xz-plane

D

Coaxial cylinders of increasing of increasing radii around the x-axis

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Any surface which has same electrostatic potential at every point is called an equipotential surface.Electric field is always perpendicular to an equipotential surface.therefore x-direction is perpendicular only to yz plane
