Question

1) Very near a point charge, equipotentials __________ the charge; electric field lines _________ the charge.

A) circle, circle
B) start/end on, circle
C) start/end on, start/end on
D) circle, start/end on

2) You are looking at an equipotential surface diagram for a region of space. At point X, the equipotentials are farther apart than at point Y. From this you can conclude

A) the potential is higher at point X
B) the E field is stronger at point X
C) the E field is weaker at point X
D) the potential is lower at point X

Explanation / Answer

1)

D) circle,start/end on

2)

A) the E field is weaker at point X
