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.
