प्रश्न
Which of the following is NOT the property of equipotential surface?
विकल्प
They do not cross each other.
The rate of change of potential with distance on them is zero.
For a uniform electric field, they are concentric spheres.
They can be imaginary spheres.
The work done in carrying a charge from one point to another on an equipotential surface is zero.
उत्तर
For a uniform electric field, they are concentric spheres.
Explanation:
As all other statements are correct. In a uniform electric field, equipotential surfaces are never concentric spheres but are planes ⊥ to Electric field lines.
