Answer:zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Work done in moving a charge is zero in equipotential surface because potential of each point is same .

When there is Potential gradient then some particle experiences a force while moving but in equipotential surface there is no potential gradient , that is why work done in moving a charge is zero.
