As we know equipotential surface means there is no potential difference that is no work is done on surface.so lines of force must intersect surface at right angles to satisfy this statement,so that net work is zero.

Why are the equipotential lines near conductor surfaces parallel to the surface?

For conductors, the electric field perpendicular to its surface and no field exist within the conductor. As a result the equipotential lines are found near the surface. They are parallel to the surface since equipotential are perpendicular to field lines.


What are lines that intersect right angles called?

Lines that intersect right angles (ninety-degree angles) are described as perpendicular.


What angles intersect each other?

Angles do not normally intersect one another, although coterminus angles may be said to.


What angles do not intersect and are coplanar?

Angles that are separated by a distance. For example, any two angles of any polygon do not intersect and they are coplanar.
