Question
Please explain and show all your work! Thank you.
1)At which of the points W or Z is the field stronger? Explain.
a)Z because it’s closer to a bend in the equipotential.
b)W because the equipotentials are closer together in the vicinity.
c)W because the electric field lines as drawn are denser.
d)Z because the equipotential is higher.
e)Z because the equipotentials are farther apart, indicating that it is harder to push a charge in this area.
f)W because the equipotential is lower.
2)Indicate the direction of the initial movement of a positive charge placed at point Z.
3)Indicate the direction of the acceleration of an electron placed at point W.
Segments of Equipotential Lines 4V 2V 1VExplanation / Answer
Remember that closely spaced electric field lines indicate a strong electric field and equally spaced electric field lines indicate the electric field is uniform
Using this information:
Answer B: W because the equipotentials are closer together in the vicinity.
For 2 and 3: Pictures are needed.
