Slope of Equipotential Line Formula

Slope of Equipotential Line = Component of Velocity in X Direction/Component of Velocity in Y Direction
Φ = u/v

What is Equipotential Line?

Lines of constant ψ are known as streamlines and lines of constant φ are known as equipotential lines (see equipotential surface). Streamlines and equipotential lines are orthogonal to each other, since. Thus the flow occurs along the lines of constant ψ and at right angles to the lines of constant φ.
