Question

The shape of equipotential surface for an infinite line charge is:
Options
A Coaxial cylindrical surfaces
Correct Answer
B Parallel plane surfaces
C Parallel plane surfaces perpendicular to lines of force
D None of the above
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Field lines from an infinite line charge radiate outward radially, so surfaces of constant potential are cylinders coaxial with the line - i.e. coaxial cylindrical surfaces.

Hint

Field lines from an infinite line charge radiate outward radially, so surfaces of constant potential are cylinders coaxial with the line - i.e.
