Equipotential or isopotential in mathematics and physics refers to a region in space where every point in it is at the same potential. This usually refers to a scalar potential, although it can also be applied to vector potentials.

What is the equipotential?

An equipotential surface is the collection of points in space that are all at the same potential. Equipotential lines are the two-dimensional representation of equipotential surfaces. Equipotential surfaces are always perpendicular to electric field lines. Conductors in static equilibrium are equipotential surfaces.

What is equipotential surface in physics?

The surface which is the locus of all points which are at the same potential is known as the equipotential surface. ... In other words, any surface with the same electric potential at every point is termed as an equipotential surface.
