True or false
1:The electric potential is the same at any point on a single equipotential line.
2:Electric field lines always emanate from positive charges and terminate on negative charges.
3:Equipotential lines always perpendicularly cross the electric field lines.
4:It is possible that equipotential lines occasionally cross each other.
5:The electric field lines point in a direction opposite to the equipotential lines.
6: Electric field lines emanating or terminating on an isolated charge are spaced uniformly as they emanate or terminate.
7:When mapping the equipotential lines, we need to take readings for the entire conductive sheet.
1:The electric potential is the same at any point on a single equipotential line - True
equipotential means equal potential.
2. Electric field lines always emanate from positive charges and terminate on negative charges -True
3. Equipotential lines always perpendicularly cross the electric field lines - True
4. It is possible that equipotential lines occasionally cross each other. - False,
lines can not cross means equipotentoial lines are made by joing same potential points.
5.. The electric field lines point in a direction opposite to the equipotential lines. - False
they are perpendicular lines.
6. Electric field lines emanating or terminating on an isolated charge are spaced uniformly as they emanate or terminate. - True
7. When mapping the equipotential lines, we need to take readings for the entire conductive sheet. - False
potential inside conductive sheet is same. ( E = 0 inside sheet)
