On an equipotential surface :

  1. A work done by the electric field in moving a charge is positive
  2. B the electric field is perpendicular to the surface
  3. C electric field is tangential to the surface
  4. D work done by the electric field in moving a charge is negative
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) the electric field is perpendicular to the surface

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

On an equipotential surface, the electric potential is constant at every point, meaning the potential difference ( \(\Delta V\) ) is zero. Since work done is \(W=q \Delta V\), moving a charge along the surface requires zero work. For the work done by the electric field to be…
