Question
Equipotential surfaces:
✓
Answer
- Are closer in regions of large electric fields compared to regions of lower electric fields.
- Will be more crowded near sharp edges of a conductor.
- Will be more crowded near regions of large charge densities.
As the electric field intensities is large near sharp edges of a charged conductor or near the regions of large charge densities. Therefore, numbers of equipotential surfaces are closer to such places or in other words they are more crowded.
