Physics · Electrostatic Potential
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: If a point charge is moved from one point to another on an equipotential surface, the work done is zero. Statement II: The electric field is always parallel to an equipotential surface. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 3
Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
Explanation
Statement I is true because \( W = q\Delta V = 0 \). Statement II is false because the electric field is normal, not parallel, to equipotential surfaces.
