Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 7Q
Can two equipotential lines cross? Explain
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Whether two equipotential lines cross
Answer to Problem 7Q
Solution:
Two equipotential lines cannot cross.
Explanation of Solution
Two equipotential lines cannot cross. It will indicate that the crossing point has two potentials. Consider 2 equipotential lines of 100V and 200V. If they cross at some point that point will have 100V and 200V.It is impossible.
