This question has Statement-1 and Statement-2. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement 1: No work is required to be done to move a test charge between any two points on an equipotential surface.
Statement 2 : Electric lines of force at the equipotential surfaces are mutually perpendicular to each other.
Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.
Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.
Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true.
Solution
The work done is moving a charge along an equipotential surface is always zero.
The direction of electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential surface or lines.
