Equipotential Lines – College Physics
These are called equipotential lines in two dimensions, or equipotential surfaces in three dimensions. The term equipotential is also used as a noun, referring to an equipotential line or surface. The potential for a point charge is the same anywhere on an imaginary sphere of radius surrounding the charge.
19.4 Equipotential Lines
Because a conductor is an equipotential, it can replace any equipotential surface. For example, in Figure 19.8 a charged spherical conductor can replace the point charge, and the electric field and potential surfaces outside of it will be unchanged, confirming the contention that a spherical charge distribution is equivalent to a point charge at its center.
