Question

At the surface of a conductor how do the equipotential lines and electric field lines behave? The equipotential lines are perpendicular to the surface. The electric field lines match the shape of the surface. The equipotential lines match the shape of the surface. The electric field lines are perpendicular to the surface. Both the equipotential lines and the electric field lines match the shape of the surface. Both the equipotential lines and the electric field lines are perpendicular to the surface.

Explanation / Answer

a) Equipotential lines are perpendicular to surface . Electrice field lines match the shape of surface
