Question

How does the configuration of the electric field occur between a "parallel plate" setup in a lab?What is the effect of conductors (rings and the triangle plates) on the electric field and equipotential lines?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field between the plates is given by

E = -ΔV/d

minus sign indicates Potential decreases in the direction of electric field

where

ΔV is the potential difference between the plates

D is the distance between the plates.

The work done when carrying an electrical charge on an equipotential surface between one position to the other is zero W= q(V-V)=0 The electric field lines of force are always perpendicular to an equipotential surface.  That conductor in an equipotential surface as direction E is at right angles to an eauipotential surface The intensity of the electric field along an equipotential surface is always zero. Equipotential surfaces never collide with each other as this would mean that at that point, there are two alternative values that are not true.
