What is the work done in moving a charge of 10 nC between two points on an equipotent surface?
0, because its equipotential surface
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
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.
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.
Why TEM wave cannot propagate thorough a rectangular waveguide?
TEM modes (Transverse ElectroMagnetic) have no electric nor magnetic field in the direction of propagation. In hollow waveguides (single conductor), TEM waves are not possible, since Maxwell's Equations will give that the electric field must then have zero divergence and zero curl and be equal to zero at boundaries, resulting in a zero field.

What is the geometrical shape of equipotential surface due to single isolated charge?

Why must electric field line be perpendicular to equipotential surfaces?
If the field lines were not perpendicular to the surface, then they could be decomposed into components perpendicular and parallel to the surface. But if there is an E-field along the surface, the surface is no longer an equipotential.
Is any force is required to move a small charge on equipotential surface?
yes
What is the shape of equipotential surface due to a point charge?
concentric spherical surfaces
Why electric lines of force intersect equipotential surface at right angles?
As we know equipotential surface means there is no potential difference that is no work is done on surface.so lines of force must intersect surface at right angles to satisfy this statement,so that net work is zero.

What is an equipotential surface?
It's a surface over which electric charges are evenly distributed, caused by the mutual repulsion between charges of the same polarity.

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.
What instrument measures the electric equipotential?
Multimeter is an instrument that measures electric equipotential. Equipotential lines can be determined by connecting various points of electric potential or voltage.
Can two different equipotential surface intersect?
Doesn't seem like they can. If they could, then that would put two different potentials along the intersection.
