What errors could have impacted the qualitative behavior (i.e., the shape) of our electric field lines of the dipole and of the set of parallel plates? (Hint: what makes electric fields? How could such things have been present in the ambient environment?)
Suppose you swapped positive and negative charges in the dipole arrangement. What would happen to the electric field lines (both shape and direction)? Would they be the same, or different?

3.1 Pre-lab In the lab on electric potential and electric field lines, you noted that charged par- ticles produce electric fields and these electric fields, in turn, act on charged par- ticles. However, you then proceeded to produce an electric field geometry using conductors held at a particular electric potential. What happened to the electric charges? Electric charge and electric potential are closely related to each other. Putting charge on a conductor raises its electric potential. It is usually much...
I have a lab about "Equipotential Lines and Electric Fields " It is asking if for our patterns " Parallel plates " and "Dipole" A) Was there a pattern in the numerical values for the Mean electric field magnitude ? If so, what was the pattern? If not, why should there not be a pattern? B) Are the equipotential surfaces for the first and second pattern identical in their appearance? Should be they be? Explain briefly.
IV. Analysis ntrod A. Arrows indicate the directions of the electric field lines. Why are there no directions an d indicated on the equipotential lines? They are perpendhculo to the eectric field. They are difpenit to mer sue onf the B. For the dipole configuration (i.e., two oppositely charged point charges), in what region(s) does the electric field have the greatest intensity? Explain how you know this from your drawing and justify your answer. C. Comment on the nature of...
Consider what would happen if electric field lines could cross each other. What would it mean if two electric field lines were to cross? a) A test charge placed at the intersection of two electric field lines would be torn apart and travel in two different directions. b) A test charge placed at the intersection of two electric field lines would experience a net force in two different directions at once. c) A positive test charge placed at the intersection...

Make a qualitative sketch of the electric field lines produced by two equal positive charges, +q, that are separated by a distance d. How does your sketch change if one of the charges is instead negative? How does your sketch change if one of the charges is instead +2q? Gaussian surface 1 has twice the surface area of Gaussian surface 2. Both surfaces enclose the same charge, +Q. Is the electric flux through surface 1 greater than, less than, or...
1- For a uniform electric field, how is the electric potential energy similar to the gravitational potential energy in a uniform gravitational? 2-If a positive charge and a negative charge moving the same way in an electric field have the same change in electric potential energy? 3-For a positive charge moving in an electric field, which direction of motion will cause the electric potential energy to increase? Decrease? Stay constant? 4-How would the answers to the previous question be different...

Sketches of electric field lines and equipotentials Sketch and answer 4 - A through 4 - D in your answer book. Consider different charge configurations as shown: 4 - A : Suppose you are a test charge and you start at some distance from the charge q = +1 below, such as at the point X. Starting at point X, what path could you move along without doing any work? i.e. which Ē. ds is...
