Question

What is the shape of an equipotential surface around a point charge?

Answer 1

Answer ⇒ Family of the concentric sphere.

Explanation ⇒ The Shape of the Equipotential surface for an point charge is the Family of Concentric Sphere.

See the figure for more detail.

  Equipotential surface is the physical surface where potential is same everywhere. Now, for an point charge,

Sphere is the only symmetric figure which will be at an equal distance from it always.

and Potential = kQ/R

since charge will always be same, and hence potential will depends only on distance.

For the shape please refer to the figure.

Hope it helps.
