Detailed Solution

In this problem, the collection of charges, whose total sum is not zero, with regard to great distance can be considered as a point charge. The equipotentials due to point charge are spherical in shape as electric potential due to point charge q is given by V=keqr .This suggest that electric potentials due to point charge is same for all equidistant points. The locus of these equidistant points, which are at same potential, form spherical surface.
