Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
D

Electric field,

i.e., equipotential surfaces are closer in regions of large electric fields compared to regions of lower electric field. At sharp edges of a conductor, charge density is more. Therefore electric field is stronger. Hence equipotential surfaces are more crowded.
