Which of the following statements is not true?
- A Work done to move a charge on an equipotential surface is not zero
- B Equipotential surfaces are the surfaces where the potential is constant
- C Equipotential surfaces for a uniform electric field are parallel and equidistant from each other
- D Electric field is always perpendicular to an equipotential surfaces.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Work done to move a charge on an equipotential surface is not zero
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Equipotential surface is having same potential at every point so work done in moving a charge from one point to other is O .
