Question 1

What is true about equipotential surfaces?

  • They are parallel to field lines.
  • They are perpendicular to field lines.
  • They vary with distance from the mass.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember the definition of how these surfaces interact.

Question 2

True or False: Moving a mass along an equipotential surface requires work.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about potential energy changing as work is done.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If the gravitational potential difference between two points on an equipotential surface is zero, explain what effects this has on an object moving between the two points.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about conservation of energy.

Question 2

Illustrate and describe the shape of equipotential surfaces for a point mass and discuss how this connects to gravitational field strength.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Draw a diagram to visualize the relationship.
