MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY Department of Physics Spring 2006 Experiment 1: Equipotential Lines and Electric Fields OBJECTIVES 1. To develop an understanding of Electric potential and Electric Fields 2. To better understand the relationship between equipotentials and Electric Fields 3. To become familiar with the effect of conductors on equipotentials and E Fields PRE-LAB READING INTRODUCTION Thus far in class we have talked about Fields , both gravitational and Electric , and how we can use them to understand how objects can interact at a distance.
(a) Copy the above figure and sketch eight electric field lines on it (equally spaced around the inner conductor). (b) What, approximately, is the magnitude of the electric field at r = 1 cm, 2 cm, and 3 cm, where r is measured from the center of the inner conductor? You should express the
