Question

(5 points) a map of equipotential curves has places in which the curves are much closer together than in other regions. is the field strong or weak where the curves are close together? explain why.

Answer 1

Answer: It is stronger

Explanation: The electric field=ΔV/Δl where l is the distance between the equipotential lines. Electric field strength is inversely proportional to the change in distance between the lines, so as the distance between the lines shrinks( become closer together) the electric field strength increases given that ΔV remains constant.
