Question
Which of the following is correct statement:
✓

Answer

  1. Equipotential lines are always perpendicular to the electric field.
Explanation:
There is no potential gradient along any direction parallel to the surface, and no electric field is parallel with the surface, This means electric field are always at right angle to the equipotential surface.
