An equipotential surface is a three-dimensional version of equipotential lines. Equipotential lines are always perpendicular to electric field lines.The process by which a conductor can be fixed at zero volts by connecting it to the earth with a good conductor is called grounding.

The equipotential lines around the heart, the thoracic region, and the axis of the heart are useful ways of monitoring the structure and functions of the heart.
