The equipotential surfaces in
the field map below (shown as dashed lines) have potential
differences between a point at infinity and themselves of 1V, 5V,
and 10V. (a)[4 pt(s) ]Label the surfaces with the correct voltage.
Justify your choices using the properties of electric potential and
its relation to work. (b)[3 pt(s) ]Is the work to move a +q charge
from points A to B positive, negative, or about zero? Justify using
the properties of work and electric potential. (c)[3 pt(s) ]Is the
work to move a +q charge from points A to C positive, negative, or
about zero? Justify using the properties of work and electric
potential. DRAW THE PATH TO WHICH YOUR REASONING APPLIES.
a)
Potential can be written as V = kQ/r
It depends both on the charge and the distance from the charge.
Here in all the cases the net charge is +Q. So the potential
depends on the distance from the charge only.
10 V corresponds to the innermost equipotential surface since r is
minimum
5 V corresponds to the equipotential surface in the middle
1 V corresponds to the outermost equipotential surface
b)
Work done = q[VB - VA]
Since VA and VB have the same potential,
VA - VB = 5 - 5 = 0
Work done = 0.
c)
Work done = q[VC - VA]
q[1 - 5]
= -4q
Work done is negative.

Equipotential surfaces A positive point charge is surrounded by an equipotential surface A, which has a radius of rA. A positive test charge moves from surface A to another equipotential surface B, which has a radius rB. In the process, the electric force does negative work (a) Does the electric force acting on the test charge have the same or opposite direction as the displacement of the test charge? O The electric force has the same direction as the displacement...

Equipotential Lines The lines in the figure below show the equipotential contours in the plane of three point charges, Q1, Q2, and Q3. Note that these are point charges (one is not bigger in size than the others; they're points). That means that the potential goes to infinity as you approach them. We've cut off the contours at plus and minus 7kV. The white space is where the potential is greater or less than that. The values of the equipotential...
