Electric field mapping Lab Physics 2212k

1) Describe the central electric field (E) shape in the case of two parallel plates.

2) Do the distances between adjacent equipotential lines between the two parallel plates, approximately measure the same? Calculate an average value for the magnitude of the electric field between the plates.

3) Does the electric field extend beyond the edges of the plates in the two parallel plates experiment?

4) Is it possible for two different equipotential lines or two lines of forces to cross each other? Explain.

5) How does the electric field strength vary with the distance from an isolated charged particle?

6) What is the equipotential shape close to "point" electrode?
7) Where is the electric field most nearly uniform in the two opposite point charges experiment?
8) What is the central equipotential shape in the two opposite point charges experiment?

Design a physics problems (with numbers and can be solved) related to electric, circuits, magnetic field, electric field, wave (light, sound, diffraction) and has real world context (chirstmas light, iron, cost of electric bills, rainbow, magnet....). The problem needs to include a background information. The situation is "rich" enough to need a picture drawn. The physics scenario is more challenging that just plugging numbers into one of the equations. - The problem needs to come from a real world context...
