A[Equipotential Surface of a point charge]
A --> B[Definition]
B --> C[An equipotential surface is a surface on which the electric potential is the same at every point.]
A --> D[Properties]
D --> E1[All points on an equipotential surface have the same electric potential.]
D --> E2[No work is done by the electric field in moving a charge along an equipotential surface.]
D --> E3[The electric field is always perpendicular to the equipotential surface.]
A --> F[Examples]
F --> G1[For a single point charge, the equipotential surfaces are a series of concentric spheres centered on the charge.]
F --> G2[For a uniform electric field, the equipotential surfaces are a series of parallel planes perpendicular to the field.]
