What potential difference will you measure if you move 3 cm in the x direction from point P? A) AV: -3.6 V B) ??= +3.6V C) AV -360 V 6. What potential difference will you measure if you move 3 cm in the x direction from point P? B), av-+3.6 V tsl 7. What potential difference will you measure if you move 3 cm in the ty direction from point P? A) aV-3.6 v AV--360v ?? + 360 V 8. Negative charges accelerate frompotential and positive charges accelerate fronm potential ALI Higher to lower, higher to lower C) D) E) Lower to higher; lower to higher Higher to lower; lower to higher Lower to higher; higher to lower Negative; positive 9. Equipotential lines connect points that have Increasing electric potential Decreasing electric potential ant non-zero electric potential D) delectric potential E) Constant electric field Page 2 of 8

Explanation / Answer

5. Potential difference = dV = E(xf-xi) = 120 x 3 cm = 3.6 V

6. when moved to the right = -3.6 V

7. Perpendicular to the E field = 0V

8. Negative charge accelerates from lower to higher potential and positive charge accelerates from higher potential to lower potential

9. The equipotential lines connect points of constant electric potential.
