Question: Which of the following statements is true about equipotential surfaces?

Options:

  1. They are always parallel to each other
  2. No work is done moving a charge along them
  3. They can intersect
  4. They are always spherical

Correct Answer: No work is done moving a charge along them

Solution: 

No work is done when moving a charge along an equipotential surface because the potential is constant.

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following statements is true about equipotential surfaces?
  • Step 1: Understand what an equipotential surface is. It is a surface where the electric potential is the same at every point.
  • Step 2: Recognize that when you move a charge along this surface, the potential energy does not change because the potential is constant.
  • Step 3: Recall the concept of work in physics. Work is done when there is a change in energy.
  • Step 4: Since the potential energy does not change when moving along an equipotential surface, no work is done.
