Question
Draw 3 equipotential surfaces corresponding to a field that uniformly increases in magnitude but remains constant along Z-direction. How are these surfaces different from that of a constant electric field along Z-direction?

Answer
For constant electric field.
For increasing electric field.
For constant electric field, equipotential surfaces are equidistant for same potential difference between these surfaces. For increasing field, separation between these surfaces decreases, in the direction of increasing field, for the same potential difference between them.
