Two charges 2 \mu \mathrm{C} and -2 \mu \mathrm{C} are placed at points A and B 6 \mathrm{~cm} apart. a) Identify an equipotential surface of the system.
Two charges 2 \mu \mathrm{C} and -2 \mu \mathrm{C} are placed at points A and B 6 \mathrm{~cm} apart. a) Identify an equipotential surface of the system.

Ans: The situation is represented in the adjoining figure.
An equipotential surface is the plane on which the total potential is zero everywhere. This plane is normal to line AB. The plane is located at the midpoint of line AB because the magnitude of charges is the same.
