Why must electric field lines be perpendicular to equipotential lines

Why are electric field lines perpendicular at the point on an equipotential surface of a conductor
Answered by admin @
Because electric field lines must be perpendicular to the surface of conductor, otherwise there would be a non zero component of electric field along the surface of conductor and charges could not be at rest.
