Question

In the figure below, equipotential lines are shown at 1-m intervals. Suppose that V_1 = 1 V, V_2 = 2 V, V_3 = 3 V, V_4 = 4 V, and V_5= 5 V. What is the electric field at point A? Enter a positive value if the electric field points in the +x direction and a negative value if if the electric field points in the -x direction. (Express your answer to two significant figures.) What is the electric field at point B? Enter a positive value if the electric field points in the +x direction and a negative value if if the electric field points in the -x direction. (Express your answer to two significant figures.)

Explanation / Answer

1) E =-dV/dx = -1/1 = - 1 V/m  

2) E = -1/1 = -1 V/m
