The angle between the electric lines of force and the equipotential surface is [NEET 2022]
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Work done to move a charge (q) particle between any two points on equipotential surface is zero.
i.e. 
Therefore, 
Since, 
lies in the plane of equipotential surface. Thus, angle between the electric lines of force and the equipotential surface is 
.
