Properties of Equipotential surface

Cont..
The potential at every point on equipotential
surface remain same so change in potential at
equipotential surfaces is zero .
A charge can move freely on an equipotential
surface without any work done.
The electric field is always perpendicular to
the equipotential surface.
No two equipotential surfaces can intersect
each other.
 Cont..

Equipotential surfaces are closer to each

other in regions of strong electric field and
farther apart in regions of weak electric
field.
