Try looking in any basic physics text. I believe you will find

description of charge equalization.




On the contrary, my DC circuits book has an example of the
charges on two identical capacitors equalizing when they
are paralleled.



If I cause 10 coulombs of charge to be on a 10 meter long wire, do I not
have a uniform charge distribution of 1 coulomb per meter on the wire,
under dc steady state conditions? Isn't this required for any
equipotential surface?


Nope.
