Equipotential at a great distance from a collection of charges whose total sum is not zero are approximately:
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsA
In this problem, the collection of charges. whose total sum is not zero, with regard to great distance can be considered as a point charge. The equipotential due to point charge are spherical in shape as electric potential due to point charge q is given by
This suggest that electric potentials due to point charge is same for all equidistant points. The locus of these equidistant points, which are at same potential, form spherical surface.
