Consider two points `1 and 2` in a region outside a charged sphere. Two points are not very far away from the sphere. If `E and V` respresent the electric fileld vector and the electric potential. Which of the following is not possible ?

A

`|vecE_1| = |vecE_2| , V_1 =V_2`

B

`vecE_1 ne vecE_2 , V_1 ne V_2`

C

`vecE_1 ne vecE_2 , V_1 = V_2`

D

`|vecE_1| = |vecE_2| , V_1 ne V_2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
In the case of charged sphere, two points situated outside the charged sphere (for equidistant from the centre) if electric field at two points are same then both points must be equipotential points.
