What do you mean by an equipotential surface?

Draw equipotential surface for a dipole.

Define an equipotential surface. Draw equipotential surfaces : (i) in the case of single point charge and (ii) in a constant electric field in Z -direction. Why the equpotential surfaces about a single charge are not equidistant ? (iii) Can electric field exist tangential to an equipotential surface ? Given reason.

From the following statements for an equipotential surface, the incorrect statement is

Assertion. Work done in moving any charge through any distance on an equipotential surface is zero. Reason. An equipotential surface is very smooth.
