Electrostatic Potential And Capacitance

Question
CBSEENPH12037332

Describe schematically the equipotential surfaces corresponding to a constant electric field in the z-direction.

Solution
Equipotential surfaces are the surfaces where the potential has a constant value. 
When an electric field acting in z-direction is constant, the potential in a direction perpendicular to z-axis remains constant. Therefore, equipotential surface is represented by the planes parallel to x-y plane.
