2. Electric Potential and Capacitance
easy

Consider two points $1$ and $2$ in a region outside a charged sphere. Two points are not very far away from the sphere. If $E$ and $V$ represent the electric field vector and the electric potential, which of the following is not possible

A

$|{\overrightarrow E _1}|\, = \,|{\overrightarrow E _2}|,\;{V_1} = {V_2}$

B

${\overrightarrow E _1} \ne {\overrightarrow E _2},\;{V_1} \ne {V_2}$

C

${\overrightarrow E _1} \ne {\overrightarrow E _2},\;{V_1} = {V_2}$

D

$|{\overrightarrow E _1}|\, = \,|{\overrightarrow E _2}|,\;{V_1} \ne {V_2}$

Solution

(d) Outside the charged sphere, (for equal distances from centre) if electric fields at two points are same then both points must be equipotential points.
