Question 218 of 311
This question has Statement-1 and Statement-2. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement 1: No work is required to be done to move a test charge between any two points on an equipotential surface.
Statement 2 : Electric lines of force at the equipotential surfaces are mutually perpendicular to each other.
Show answer and solution
Answer: (C) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
The work done is moving a charge along an equipotential surface is always zero.
The direction of electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential surface or lines.
The direction of electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential surface or lines.
