Question

In the diagram below each unit on the horizontal axis is 2.00 cm and each unit on the vertical axis is 1.00 cm. The equipotential lines in a region of uniform electric field are indicated by the blue lines. (Note that the diagram is not drawn to scale.)

In the diagram below each unit on the horizontal axis is 2.00 cm and each unit on the vertical axis is 1.00 cm. The equipotential lines in a region of uniform electric field are indicated by the blue lines. (Note that the diagram is not drawn to scale.)

Explanation / Answer

a) 45 degrees below the +x axis
b) d = sqrt(1^2+2^2) = 2.236 cm = 0.02236 m

E = (v2-v1)/d = 6/0.02236 = 268.3 N/C

c) d' = d/2 = 0.02236/2 = 0.01118 m = 1.118 cm
