QUESTIONS: 1. What relationship can you infer about the directions of the electric field lines and equipotential lines? That is, are they parallel to each other or are they perpendicular to each other? 2. How are the shapes of the equipotential lines related to the shapes of the electrodes? 3. How do the fields and potentials change with distance? (Are they constant, increasing or decreasing?). 4. For the triangular tear drop conductor, what was the electric field inside the conductor? What is the potential of the conductor? Are these values what you might expect?Explanation / Answer
A)Equipotential curves are simply curves connecting points of equal magnitude of voltage potential and Electric field lines are lines of force that originate from a negative charge and terminate at a positive charge. They are parallel to each other
