Question

The direction of the equipotential surface is __________ to the uniform electric field lines.

Answer 1

Equipotential surface:

1. The equipotential potential is the surface where all points have the same electric potential.
2. The potential gradient in a direction parallel to an equipotential surface is zero.
3. The electric field is always perpendicular to an equipotential surface.
4. Hence, the direction of the equipotential surface is Perpendicular to the uniform electric field lines.
