How to solve Part 4c? Sketches of electric field lines and equipotentials Sketch and answer 4 - A through 4 - D in your answer book. Consider different charge configurations as shown: 4 - A : Suppose you are a test charge and you start at some distance from the charge q = +1 below, such as at the point X. Starting at point X, what path could you move along without doing any work? i.e. which Ē. ds is...
