Equipotential surfaces associated with an electric field which is increasing in magnitude along the x-direction are:
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Planes parallel to yz-plane
We know that →E=−→∇ϕThus the equipotential surface is always perpendicular to the direction of electric field. As the field is along x-direction, equipotential surface must be parallel to yz-plane.
We know that →E=−→∇ϕ
