boards question.....

This question was asked in today's physics boards:

"Draw three equipotential surfaces corresponding to a field that uniformly increases in magnitude but remains constant along z - direction. How are these surfaces different from that of a constant electric field along the z - direction?"

WTF does this question mean??? And what is the answer

Read its hindi version...

Arrey this will be three planes parallel to each other..

only that the distance between two will decrease!

I think that is what they want to see..

isnt it?

Anirudh Narayanan ·

bhaiya, i can't understand.....just 3 parallel planes???? parallel to what?

hahahah....

hindi superb tha sab me... i was amazed and kepton reading that..

and yes nishant bhaiya is right... :)

maine to Z axis par perpendicular surface kheech diye........

bhaiya.......any 3 parallel planes?????

Lokesh Verma ·

yes..

all planes perpendicular to the z axis will be equipotential..

only that the distance between them will keep decreasing!

"a field that uniformly increases in magnitude but remains constant along z - direction"

What does this mean??

z - component of the field is a constant?

oops.. i din notice..

thereis some mistake in the english..

i think they meant that the field is constant along Z axis..

but it also increases unifomly along some other direction!

I also faced the same problem When field along z-axis is a constant then how can the distance between the equipotential surfaces decrease

yipeee...2 marks bonus.....for wrong question [4]

"a field that uniformly increases in magnitude but remains constant along z - direction"

What does this mean??

@anirudh
thats why i said read its hindi part... ;)
it was clear there...

Anirudh Narayanan ·

OHH! pls translate......

Abhishek Priyam ·

"a field that uniformly increases in magnitude but direction remains constant along z - direction"

in hindi it was there...

and in boards they never give bonus marks :( they will never accept that q was wrong...
