How is the electric field oriented relative to the equipotential lines?
The electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential lines. 5. Clear the test area. Place a negative charge in the test area. On the diagram below, draw in the electric field line and equipotential lines for a negative charge. A. How are the field lines oriented relative to the equipotential lines? The field lines are perpendicuar to the equipotential lines. Negative.jpg 6. Clear the test area. Place two positive charges a distance of 3m apart in the test area. Use the diagram below to draw in the field and equipotential lines. Two_positives.jpg 7. Repeat for two negative charges. Two_Negatives.jpg 8. Repeat for a positive and negative charge. Dipole.jpg 9. Repeat for a double line of oppositely polarized charges. Line.jpg 10. What does the electric field of the previous configuration resemble? The electric field resembles a capacitor. 11. For all the configurations, the following should be true statements. A) The electic field points in the direction of decreasing voltage. B) A po
