Question

Shown below are graphs of the electric potential by an electric field with respect to the distance in the X and Y directions.

Describe the Electric field that would follow such graphs.

Shown below are graphs of the electric potential by an electric field with respect to the distance in the X and Y directions. Describe the Electric field that would follow such graphs 5. (10 points) Complete the following task. You MUST explain y our reasoning mathematically (it is worth 5 points). Shown below are graphs of the electric potential by an electric field with respect to distance in the x and y directions V Describe the electric field that would produce such graphs.

Explanation / Answer

for the first graph

first the potential is the work done on an unit positive charge to bring it from infinity to a point in an electric field

V= W/q

first graph v vs ris the as we are moving away from the electric field i.e the potential is decreasing as distance increases , means the electric field is not uniform

second graph shows the equipotential surface , the potential is same though the distance is increasing, shows uniform electric field
