    An equipotential line is like the contour line of a map that had lines of equal altitude. In this case the "altitude"is the electrical potential or voltage. Equipotential lines are always perpendicular to the electric field. In three dimensions these lines form equipotential surfaces. The movement along an equipotential surface does not perform work, because that movement is always perpendicular to the electric field.
