Question
Equipotential surfaces associated with an electric field which is increasing in magnitude along field which is increasing in magnitude along the x-direction are :
Options
A.planes parallel to yz-plane
B.planes parallel to xy-plane
C.planes parallel to xz-plane
D.coaxial cylinders of increasing radii around the x-axis
Solution
Equipotential surface is always perpendicular to the direction of electric field. As the field is along x-direction, Equipotial surface must be parallel plane.
