MCQ
. A surface that has the same electrostatic potential at every point on it is known as $......$
- AEqual$-$potential surface
- BSame potential surface
- CEqui$-$magnitude surface
- ✓Equipotential surface
✓
Answer
Correct option: D.
Equipotential surface
Equipotential surface is a surface formed by the locus of all the points which are at the same potential. Equipotential surfaces do not intersect with each other and are closely spaced in the region of strong electric fields and vice$-$versa.
