Question

Two parallel metal plates A and B carry positive and negativecharges of equal strength, respectively. What is the correctdirection for the equipotential lines for this chargeconfiguration? Choice I : vertical, along the y-axis Choice II : horizontal, along the x-axis A) choiceI               C)neither choice I nor choice II B) choiceII               D)both choice I and choice II Two parallel metal plates A and B carry positive and negativecharges of equal strength, respectively. What is the correctdirection for the equipotential lines for this chargeconfiguration? Choice I : vertical, along the y-axis Choice II : horizontal, along the x-axis A) choiceI               C)neither choice I nor choice II B) choiceII               D)both choice I and choice II

Explanation / Answer

Let the metal plates are along Y -axis then elecfield linesare along Y - axis. So, direction for the equipotential lines for this chargeconfiguration is along X - axis since lines of equi potential lines are perpendicular to linesof electric field.
