Question
Mention two important conclusions regarding the relation between electric field and electric potential.
✓
Answer
→(i) Electric field is in the direction in which the electric potential decreases steepest.
(ii) The magnitude of electric field is given by the change in the magnitude of potential per unit displacement normal to the equipotential surface at the point.
(ii) The magnitude of electric field is given by the change in the magnitude of potential per unit displacement normal to the equipotential surface at the point.
