Equipotential lines are usually shown in a manner similar to topographical contour lines, in which the difference in the value of consecutive lines is constant. Clear the equipotential lines using the Erase button on the voltage tool. Place the first equipotential line 1 m away from the charge. It should have a value of roughly 9 V. Now, produce several additional equipotential lines, increasing and decreasing by an interval of 3 V (e. g., one with 12 V, one with 15 V, and one with 6 V). Don't worry about getting these exact values. You can be off by a few tenths of a volt. Which statement best describes the distribution of the equipotential lines? 1. The equipotential lines are closer together in regions where the electric field is weaker.
2. The equipotential lines are closer together in regions where the electric field is stronger.
3. The equipotential lines are equally spaced. The distance between each line is the same for all adjacent lines.
