Question

In the diagram below each unit on the horizontal axis is 2.00 cm and each unit on the vertical axis is 1.00 cm. The equipotential lines in a region of uniform electric field are indicated by the blue lines. (Note that the diagram is not drawn to scale.)

Explanation / Answer

a) 45 degrees below the +x axis
b) d = sqrt(1^2+2^2) = 2.236 cm = 0.02236 m

E = (v2-v1)/d = 6/0.02236 = 268.3 N/C

c) d' = d/2 = 0.02236/2 = 0.01118 m = 1.118 cm
