Question

10 how are the equipotential lines different from those of a single point charge? How are they the same? 11 do the equipotential lines cross each other? why or why not? 12 looking area the relationship, what is the relationship between the electric field lines and the equipotential lines at points where the two cross? 16 how are the equipotential lines of 2 lines of aren't charge different than the equipotential lines of the dipole? how are they similiar? 17 do the equipotential lines cross each other? if yes, why do they cross? if no, why don't they cross? 18 what is the relationship between the equipotential lines and the electric field lines at points where they cross?

9. Find Other Equipotential Lines. Find other equipotential lines by placing the black probe on another grid point along the line between the circles. Find a total of 6 more equipotential lines: 3 on each side of the center of the paper. Once you are finished, draw the equipotential lines in the figure 10 How are the equipotential lines of the dipole different from those of a single point charge? How are they the same? 11.Do the equipotential lines cross each other? Why or why not? 12. Looking at the paper, what is the relationship between the electric field lines and the equipotential lines at points where the two cross?

Explanation / Answer

10. The equipotential lines of a single point charge are concentric circles centred at the charge. The equiipotential lines of a dipole consist of deformed circles centered at each of the charges.

11. Equipotential lines are lines of equal potential and different lines have different values of potential. Therefore, two equipotential lines can never touch each other.

12. Electric field lines are perpendicular to equipotential lines as electric field is the gradient of a potential. The change in potential is always perpendicular to the equipotential line.
