EXPERIMENT 2 - ELECTRIC FIELDS AND EQUIPOTENTIAL SURFACES 9 E- Objective: The purpose of this lab is to explore the electric force per unit charge as a function of the distance from various charged electrode configurations.
Question: Which of the figures below show equipotential surfaces for this charge (a point charge in 2-D or line charge in 3-D) where the potential differences (voltage) between adjacent surfaces take on the same value, e.g., if the smallest equipotential surface has a potential of 10 V and the equipotential surface that is just larger than this ...
Question: Experiment 1: Mapping Electric Potentials Post-Lab Questions Use the data collected to draw your equipotential lines by drawing a “smooth” curve connecting the 5 to 8 data points with the same potential as described in step 20, for each equipotential. Label what potential each equipotential line represents.
Question: Equipotential lines are usually shown in a manner similar to topographical contour lines, in which the difference in the value of consecutive lines is constant. Clear the equipotential lines using the Erase button on the voltage tool. Place the first equipotential line 1 m away from the charge. It should have a value of roughly 9 V.
Prelab for Electric Equipotential Mapping Questions Due at the Beginning of Lab Read the lab and refer to your textbook as needed to answer the following questions before coming to lab. This week's lab involves making a map of electrical equipotential curves.
The equipotential lines in a region of electric field are shown in the diagram below. For each path indicated below, what is the work done by the electric field in moving a charge q = +2.7 x 107 C along that path?
