Equipotential - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Equipotential or isopotential in mathematics and physics (especially electronics) refers to a region in space where every point in it is at the same potential. This usually refers to a scalar poten...

Equipotential surface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Equipotential surfaces are surfaces of constant scalar potential. They are used to visualize an (n)-dimensional scalar potential function in (n-1) dimensional space. The gradient of the potential, de...

Equipotential lines are like contour lines on a map which trace lines of equal altitude. In this case the "altitude" is electric potential or voltage. Equipotential lines are always perpendicular to the electric field.

EQUIPOTENTIAL LINES; Electric fields; One way to look at the force between charges is to say that the charge alters the space around it by generating an electric field E. Any other charge placed in this field then experiences a Coulomb force.

This applet allows the user to set up a distribution of charges, upon which the applet will show the electric potential, electric field lines, and equipotential lines. In addition, the electric force will be observed through real time interaction of charges.

This animation shows that as the charge crosses from one equipotential line to the next, we change the electric potential from 0 volts initially to 10 volts and then to 20 volts. Comparing the electric potential from one line to the next gives us the concept of electrical potential difference.

Equipotential surfaces can be shown as lines in two dimensions to provide a quantitative way of viewing electric potential. Every point on a given line is at the same potential. Such maps can be read like topographic maps.

All points on an equipotential surface have the same electric potential (i.e. the same voltage). ... The electric force neither helps nor hinders motion of an electric charge along an equipotential surface.
