Question

Equipotential surfaces are always parallel with each other.

True

False

-------------

Electric field lines always emanate from positive charges and terminate on negative charges.

True

False

-----------------

Electric field lines always point from high voltage toward low voltage.

True

False

P In the figure above, the curves A and B represent two equipotential surfaces. The figure also shows the direction of the electric field at point P between A and B. Which of the following statement is true? O Surface A and B have the same electric potential. O Surface A has a lower electric potential. O Surface B has a lower electric potential. O None of the above is true.

Explanation / Answer

1.False because equipotential surface s are not parallel to each other in most of the cases it is different depending on the shape of plumb lines.

2. True

3.True

4.since if we observe the figure A and B are two equipotential surfaces that means electric potential at every point is same since electric field is perpendicular to equipotential surfaces in the direction of decreasing potential hence potential of surface B will be lower than A so answer is option C

5. from the figure if we observe path D has the highest potential of 13 V so answer is option D

6.from the figure if we obserbe both B and D are perpendicular to equipotential surfaces but electric filed is in the direction of B so answer is option B

7.option D
