Answer:
An electric field is always perpendicular to the equipotential surface and in a direction in which the rate of decrease of potential is from higher potential to lower potential.
Explanation:
The electric field is a field of force surrounding a charged particle within which another charged particle experiences a force
Electric field lines are always perpendicular to equipotential surfaces and point toward locations of lower potential and the direction of the electric field is opposite in which potential increases.
Hence,
An electric field is always perpendicular to the equipotential surface and in a direction in which the rate of decrease of potential is from higher potential to lower potential.
