Solution

The correct options are
A be plane surfaces
B be normal to the direction of the field
C be placed such that surfaces having equal differences in potential are separated by equal distances
D have decreasing potentials in the direction of the field
For Uniform electric field
These lines are equi-potential surface in the direction of y-axis.
a) Equi-potential surface are plane surface.
b) y-axis is perpendicular to direction of E.
c) V=14πϵ0qr, V is equal to r.
d) E=V
