The equipotential surface is always perpendicular to the electric field lines. So, the angle between the electric lines of force and the equipotential surface is 90°.
The diagrams below show regions of equipotentials.
A positive charge is moved from A to B in each diagram. [2017]
In all the four cases the work done is the same.
Minimum work is required to move q in figure (I).
Maximum work is required to move q in figure (II).
Maximum work is required to move q in figure (III).

Work done is given as
In all the four cases the potential difference from A to B is same.
In all the four cases the work done is same.
If potential (in volts) in a region is expressed as the electric field (in N/C) at point (1, 1, 0) is [2015]
