Question

Take an electric field sensor and move it in a straight line, crossing the equipotential lines. Describe the relationship between the distance between the equipotential lines and the strength of the electric field.

Answer 1

Answer:

 E = - dV / dx

Explanation:

The equipotential lines are lines or surfaces that have the same power, therefore we can move in them without carrying out work between equipotential lines, work must be carried out, therefore the electric field changes.

The electric field and the potential are related by

          E = - dV / dx

therefore when the change is faster, that is, the equipotential lines are closer, the greater the electric field must be.
