This is not surprising, since the two concepts are related. We use arrows to represent the magnitude and direction of the electric field, and we use green lines to represent places where the electric potential is constant. These are called equipotential surfaces in three dimensions, or equipotential lines in two dimensions.

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.

As expected, in the region r≥R, the electric field due to a charge q placed on an isolated conducting sphere of radius R is identical to the electric field of a point charge q located at the center of the sphere.
