Physics · Potential difference, equipotential surfaces, electrical potential energy of a system of two point charges and of electric dipole in an electrostatic field
The equi-potential surface in the region are
The equi-potential surface in the region are
- A. planes parallel to \( X Y \) plane
- B. planes parallel to \( Z Y \) plane
- C. planes parallel to \( X Z \) plane
- D. None of the above
Step-by-step solution
In electrostatics, equipotential surfaces are perpendicular to electric field lines. For a uniform electric field (commonly along the z-axis), the equipotential surfaces are planes perpendicular to the field, i.e., parallel to the XY plane.
