Answer:
Option c) are perpendicular to the electric field
Explanation:
Equipotential surfaces are perpendicular to the electric field. the electric field lines are projected outwards from the equipotential surface, i.e., the lines of the electric field are at 90 to the equipotential surface.
Equipotential surface are those surfaces that have the same potential at any point on the surface. Thus the potential difference at any point on the surface is zero due to same potential.
Any charge particle on this surface will move in a perpendicular direction to the Coulombian force. No work is done by the force on a particle moving on an equipotential surface.
The centripetal acceleration is given by
where v is the tangential speed and r the radius of the circular orbit.
For the car in this problem,
and r=40 m, so we can re-arrange the previous equation to find the velocity of the car:
where v is the tangential speed and r the radius of the circular orbit.
For the car in this problem,
