| Jan 5, 2012 at 5:21 | comment | added | Vineet Menon | the simple fact is that since its is an equipotential line, the intersecting point will have +5 as well as -5 volts!!! how can that happen?? | |

| Jan 4, 2012 at 2:02 | comment | added | Colin K | Do you mean a violation of energy conservation? The phrase "a violation of energy" doesn't really mean anything. Furthermore, the reason that equipotential contours cannot intersect has nothing to do with energy conservation, really. Did somebody say that it did? Or did they just say that equipotential contours cannot intersect, and you assumed it was due to energy conservation? I'd be happy to make a real answer once your question is more clear. | |
