Questions 

  1. Do any equipotential lines cross one another?

  2. Do any field lines cross one another?

  3.  Estimate the electric field strength at a point :

    (a) half way between the terminals and

    (b) near one of the terminals by using the relation: where AV is the potential difference between two points (for example, two points on successive equipotential lines) and AL is the distance measured along a field line.

  4.  Where is the field the strongest? Where is the field the weakest?
