Iii (^) ) The^ direction^ of^ Electric (^) field is^ always perpendicular to Equipotential surface . iv ) No^ Equipotential
can intersect^ each other.
We thus arrive at two important conclusions concerning the relation between electric field and potential which are as given below : i) Electric field is in the direction in which the potential decreases steepest. ii) Its magnitude is given by the change in the magnitude of potential per unit displacement normal to the equipotential surface at the point.
