- 24-4 Equipotential Surfaces
- Adjacent points that have the same electric potential form an equipotential surface, which can be either an imaginary surface or a real, physical surface.
- Fig. 24-2 Portions of four equipotential surfaces at electric potentials
- V1=100 V, V2=80 V,V3 =60 V, and V4 =40 V.
- Four paths along which a test charge may move are shown.
- Two electric field lines are also indicated.
- No net work W is done on a charged particle by an electric field when the particle moves between two points i and f on the same equipotential surface.
