Please show steps and equations. Thanks. University of South Alabama Physics PH 201/PH 202 Laboratory Manual 124 1.5 Preliminary Assignment 1) The distance between the two digital multi-meter probe tips is 1.8 x 10 m. The potential difference between the probes is 1.11 v. Determine the electric field along the line defined by the probes. 2) A group of students trace out two equipotential surfaces and an electric field line as shown in Figure 1.5-1 A) Identify the polarity of each terminal. B Calculate the electric field for each segment of the electric field line given that the distance between the two digital multi-meter probe tips is 2x10 m. Determine the potential difference between the two equipotential ines by summing the voltages along the electric field line. Compare this value to the potential difference found by subtracting the voltages of the two equipotential lines. 18 t 16 4-+ 12 8 Volts A 2 Figure 1.5-1 sample data showing two equipotential lines (one at 2 Volts and another at 8 Volts) and one electric field line connecting the two equipotential lines.
Explanation / Answer
here,
1)
the distance between the tips of multimeter , d= 1.8 * 10^-2 m
potential difference , V = 1.11 V
the electric feild , E = V/d
E = 1.11 /( 0.018) = 61.67 N/C
the electric feild is 61.67 N/C
