Introduction

This experiment will let us know the how to measure the electric field and

electric potential around a charged objects and see where are the areas that

has greater influence on a charged particle around the charged objects.

Discussion

Part 1:

8) See the diagram. The data agree with the theory.

Part 3:

2) the distance between the two prongs of the probe is 2.2cm.

3) the line represent the voltage between the two prongs. The

orientation of the line relate to the first line is perpendicular.

The smallest voltage is 0.2 mV and the largest is 1.09V.

Conclusion

The electric field around a charged object is varied according to the distance

from the charged object. Also we conclude from this experiment that field

lines are always perpendicular to equipotential lines.
