Question

write true or false. if it is false explain why.

___ the difference in electrical potential between two points on the same electrical equipotential line is zero.

____ Electric equipotential lines start at a positive charge and end at a negative one.

Answer 1

The difference in electrical potential between two points on the same electrical equipotential line is zero. This statement is True. The very definition of equipotential line is that the potential is same across such a line. Hence potential difference between any two points on such a line is zero. (TRUE).

Electric equipotential lines start at a positive charge and end at a negative one. This statement is False. The Electric field lines (and not Electric equipotential lines) start at a positive charge and end at a negative one. (FALSE)
