Equipotential surfaces are
Work done in moving an object through an equipotential surface is
An example of an equipotential surface in earth is
Draw $$3$$ equipotential surface corresponding to a field that uniformly increases in magnitude but remains constant along Z-direction. How are these surface different from that of a constant electric field along Z-direction?
Draw an equipotential surface for a system consisting of two charges Q=Q seperated by a distance r in air. Locate the points where the potential due to the dipole is zero.
Draw an equipotential surface for a system consisting of two charges Q=Q seperated by a distance r in air. Locate the points where the potential due to the dipole is zero.
Show that the equipotential surfaces are closed together in the regions of strong field and far apart in the regions of weak field. Draw equipotential surface for an electric dipole.
