Which of the following is NOT true of an equipotential surface?

  • A.the surface of a conductor in equilibrium is one
  • B.two such surfaces of different potential can never intersect
  • C.the field is tangential to it
  • D.no work is done in moving a charge along it

Answer: C

Correct answer: the field is tangential to it

The field is normal to an equipotential, not tangential - a tangential component would do work along the surface, contradicting the definition. The other three statements are all correct, including that two equipotentials of different value cannot intersect, since a point cannot hold two potentials at once.
