Question
1) Are equipotential surfaces and electric field lines always straight lines? Under what circumstances would you not have straight lines for both?
2) Were the equipotential lines with the two parallel electrodes the exact same distance from one another? If not, why do you think this happened?
3) Were the equipotential lines from the second configuration the same distance apart? If not, what does this tell you about the field around the two electrodes?
4) Based on your observations, draw the equipotential surfaces and the electric field lines between the following two conductors. Label which is which.
Explanation / Answer
1. equipotential surface and electric field lines are not straight always. the electric field lines are straight lines for a line of charge. the equipotential line is perpendicular to the electric field lines and straight also in this case
