Question

1. Which point, J or K, has a higher electric potential? Explain.

2. At which point, J or K, is the electric field stronger? Explain.


C. Here?s another electric field. 1. At which of the three labeled points is the electric potential highest? Second highest? Lowest? Be sure to indicate any ties, and explain your reasoning. 2. At which of the three labeled points is the electric field strongest? Second strongest? Weakest? Be sure to indicate any ties, and explain your reasoning. D. Now for the punch line. Is there a fixed relation between the field strength and the electric potential? In other words, is there a general rule such as ?the field is stronger where the potential is higher,? or ?the field is stronger where the potential is lower,? that holds in all situations? If so, what?s the rule? Explain.

Explanation / Answer

1. K is at higher potential bcoz there the electric field lines are much closer 2. J the electric field lines are much stronger as the field lines are much closer to each other then they start to deviate closer the field line much stroner the electic field 3. D and E have same electric potential F has higher electric potenital than them 4 Electric field is same at D,E bcoz they in all of them the field lines closeness is the same and F has lower electric field bcoz of teh direction of the field is low towards it 5 V=potetial r=distance E=electric field V=Er potential increase as the distance increases fdrom the electric fiedl
