Question

Information: There is a positive terminal and a negative terminal. The colored lines are equipotential lines each marked with their potential value. The Red line is 2V, Green line is 4V, Blue line is 6V, and Black line with stars is 8V.

Question: Draw electric field lines. If Equipotential Lines represent constant ”electric elevation”, then Electric Field represents which direction is downhill (from positive to negative charge) and how steep it is.To do this, draw line segments perpendicular to your equipotential lines. See if you can connect a line segment perpendicular from one equipotential line to another line segment to another equipotential line keeping the ’curve’ needed to attach the two. Then see if you can connect that line to the next. This creates an electric field line. Draw and label at least eight electric field lines. You should include at least 2 field lines between the two circles. Indicate the direction of the electric field with an arrow on each of your electric field lines.

Explanation / Answer

given

he Red line is 2V,

Green line is 4V,

Blue line is 6V,

and

Black line with stars is 8V

using

equation E = - dV / dr

E = - ( 4 - 2 ) / ( 6 - 8 ) X 10-2

E = 100 V / m
