Which statement about equipotential surfaces in electrostatics is correct?
(a) Electric field vectors point from lower potential toward higher potential.
(b) A charged particle moving along an equipotential surface experiences no change in electric potential energy.
(c) The electric field is always parallel to equipotential surfaces.
(d) The electric field is stronger where neighboring equipotential surfaces are farther apart.
