Detailed Solution

The electric field intensity E is inversely proportional to the separation between equipotential surfaces. So, equipotential surfaces are closer in regions of large electric fields.

Since, the electric field intensities is large near sharp edges of charged conductor due to high surface charge densities ,and near regions of large charge densities. Therefore, equipotential surfaces are closer at such places.
