Question
why do the equipotential surfaces due to a uniform electric field not intersect each other?
Open in App
Solution
Dear Student,
The equipotential surfaces due to a uniform electric field not intersect each other because two different equipotential surface have different electric potential, so if they intersect then the point of intersection will have two different potentials at the same point which is not possible.
