Draw the equipotential surfaces due to an isolated point charge.

For positive point charge,



As the electric field due to an isolated charge is given by



where,


From the equation we can see that electric field decreases with increase in radius.



For equipotential surface the distance of spheres from point charge increases as E decreases.


For negative point charge,
