Equipotential Surface and Properties Quiz

A surface where every point has the same electric potential.

The electric field is always normal (perpendicular) to the surface.

Light must travel from a denser medium to a rarer medium, and the angle of incidence must be greater than the critical angle.

If they crossed, the electric field would have two directions at one point, which is impossible.

Tangential components would cause electrons to move along the surface, contradicting electrostatics.

Generating heat in induction furnaces and electric brakes.

The phenomenon where a changing current in one coil induces an electromotive force (EMF) in a neighboring coil.

Current that does not contribute to the real power consumption in an AC circuit.

Due to resonance conditions, the voltage across individual components can be a multiple of the applied voltage.

Using a laminated iron core which reduces eddy current losses.

The electric and magnetic field vectors oscillate perpendicular to each other and to the direction of propagation.

By accelerating or oscillating electric charges.
