Given information
Two equipotential lines cross.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Two equipotential lines at different potential cannot cross. because by the definition, an equipotential line is a line along which the electric potential is constant. The equipotential at a given point in space can only have a single value. If a region in space had two different values for the potential were cross, then they would no longer represent equipotential lines.
