Conceptual Equipotential Surfaces Problems

[Irfan Nafi]

Homework Statement

True or False:
1.Equipotential surfaces intersect:
2.Electric field lines are found within equipotential surfaces:

Homework Equations

E=Vd

The Attempt at a Solution

1. I think this is false since the same reasoning describes why electric field lines don't intersect
2. I'm not really sure what the statement is saying - they're perpendicular

1. I think this is false since the same reasoning describes why electric field lines don't intersect

Right.

2. I'm not really sure what the statement is saying - they're perpendicular

Right. I guess "within" asks about field lines parallel to the surfaces.
