An example of an equipotential surface in earth is:
  • A
    A line passing through the centre of the earth connecting two points along the diameter.
  • B
    A plane that passes through the circular section of the hemisphere of the earth.
  • C
    A spherical surface at a distance of 1km from the surface of the earth with its centre at centre of earth.
  • D
    A plane on the surface of the earth, which is a tangent to the earth.
