Electrostatics Simulation H
Description:
The simulation shows a charge distribution between which there
is a (nearly) uniform electric field (like the field between the plates
of a capacitor) and a test charge (the small red dot in between the two
rows of charge). The field vectors and equipotential lines are drawn for
this case. The test charge shows a vector with the net force acting on
it.
Move the test charge around and note the direction of the force acting
on the test charge.
Question 16:
Which direction does the force on the test charge point relative to the
electric field vectors?
Question 17:
Which direction does the force on the test charge point relative to the
electric equipotential lines?
