Physics · Electrostatic Potential
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: The electric potential at any point is equal to the negative line integral of electric field from infinity to that point. Statement II: Equipotential surfaces can intersect each other in regions of high electric field intensity. 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 the standard definition of potential. Statement II is false because two equipotential surfaces can never intersect, as that would mean two different potential values at the intersection point.
