Solution

Equipotential surface:

  1. The equipotential potential is the surface where all points have the same electric potential.
  2. The locus of points with the same potential due to infinite line charge will form a cylinder.
  3. Hence, the shape of the equipotential surface for an infinite line charge is Coaxial Cylindrical.
