V. CALCULATIONS/MAPPING Using the equipotential sketches draw representative electric field lines (include direction) in the region between the conductors and near the outside areas of the conductors and the smooth field curves from the equipotential data.

VI. CONCLUSION/QUESTIONS

1. What general statements can be made about the strength and characteristics of electric

fields for the conductor configuration you mapped in the lab?

2. Compute values for the electric field at four different points on the point-line plate.

Comment on the validity of your values.

3. What are the possible problems with the techniques used in the lab to find the electric

fields?
