why electric field lines are always perpendicular to equipotential surfaces?
Asked by | 7th Jul, 2008, 10:52: AM
Expert Answer:
this is because there is no potential gradient along any direction parallel to the surface , and so no electric field parallel to the surface. This means that the electric lines of force are always at right angle to the equipotential surface.
