Doesn't seem like they can. If they could, then that would put
two different potentials along the intersection.

Can two different equipotential surfaces intersect give a reason for your answer?
No, two equipotential surfaces cannot intersect. These are surfaces where the gradient of potential is zero always.
Can two different equipotential lines cross each other?
No. If two equipotential surfaces intersect, then there would be two values of electric potential at the point of intersection, which is not possible.
What is the work done in moving a charge of 10 nC between two points on an equipotent surface?
0, because its equipotential surface
Is it that if two different circles intersect then they intersect at one and only one point?
If two circles intersect then they have to intersect at two points.
What is Equipotential lines in electric field?
Equipotential lines are lines that are perpendicular to the lines representing the electric field of a particle. A particle can travel freely of equipotential lines without doing any work.
What is the amount of work done in moving a 100nc charge between two points 5 cm apart on an equipotential surface?
An equipotential surface has the same value of potential. Thus, work done would be zero. Work done = Charge X Potential difference
Do two lines always intersect at one point?
If two different lines intersect, they will always intersect at one point.
Can two isobars drawn on a surface weather map ever intersect?
No. That would mean that a place had two different air pressures at once. Not possible.
When two lines intersect do they intersect in different ponts?
No, two straight lines can intersect at only one point and that is their point of intersection.
When a curved surface is tangent to a plane surface?
When the two surfaces touch but do not intersect one another.
What are lines that are not coplanar and do not intersect?
Two lines that are not coplaner exist on two different planes. These lines do not and will not intersect by simple definition. It is however, when speaking of three or more lines, when the possibility that two or more of them may intersect.
Why are the equipotential lines near conductor surfaces parallel to the surface?
For conductors, the electric field perpendicular to its surface and no field exist within the conductor. As a result the equipotential lines are found near the surface. They are parallel to the surface since equipotential are perpendicular to field lines.
