Question
I just need help on question #5. Thank you! Create copies of the drawing and data points using a photocopier or digital camera. Distributes copy of the drawing to each member of the lab group. The sheet in this experiment is the sheet of paper upon which you draw the equipotential lines. Experiments seldom produce perfect results, and the charges on the field mapping board typically do not produce balanced dipole. The might align in unexpected ways but each line should form a closed loop or extend from one edge of the page to another, as shown in figure 11.5. Equipotential lines form loops or proceed from one edge of the page to another Draw a smooth curve that connects the dots labeled E2 on the data sheet using a pencil. This is the equipotential line for E2. Repeat step 1 for each series of points E3 through E6. Draw the electric field lines. Remember that the electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential lines. Sketch your idea of the locations and signs of the charges on the electrostatic field board. If a point charge is placed in an electric field and released from rest, will it travel along field line?Explanation / Answer
5) Yes, If the point charge has a positive charge.
If the point charge has negative charge it travels opposite to the direction of eledtric field line.
Because, the direction of electric field is in the direction of tangent to drawn to the elctric field lines at a given point.
