By d efinition, the w ork required to m ove a charge from one point to any other point on
an equipotential surface is zero. From the d efinition of w ork, W F cos
s , the w ork
is zero only if s 0 or F cos
0 . The d isplacem ent s cannot be assum ed to be zero in
all cases. Thus, one m ust require that F cos
0 . The force F is given by F qE and
neither the charge q nor the field strength E can be assum ed to be zero in all cases.
Therefore, the only w ay the w ork can be zero in all cases is if cos
0 . But if cos

then
