Electrostatics Simulation F

 



Field A Field B Field C Field D

Description:

A set of potential lines around three point charges are shown on the left. You can click-drag in the left hand display to measure the potential at any point. Four choices of electric field lines can be shown on the right (click on one of the choices Field A etc. to display the electric field plot). The arrows in the field plot represent the direction and the colors represent the magnitude of the electric field.

Question 12:

Which electric field plot (on the right) best corresponds to the potential plot on the left hand side? How did you determine this?
