Questions  

Equipotential surfaces are shown in figure. Then the electric field strength will be

a
100 vm-1 along X-axis
b
100 vm-1 along Y-axis
c
200 vm-1 at an angle 120° with X-axis
d
50 vm-1 at an angle 120° with X-axis

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Using dV=-E→·dr→ ⇒ΔV=-E.Δrcosθ ⇒E=-ΔVΔrcosθ ⇒E=-(20-10)10×10-2cos120° =-1010×10-2-sin30°=-102-1/2=200 V/mDirection of E be perpendicular to the equipotential surface i.e., at 120° with x-axis.
