FIELD LINES AND EQUIPOTENTIAL LINES
Item Code : SK044
Principle and Working:
An equipotential line is a set of points in space where each point has the same electric potential. In this setup, a voltage is applied between a pair of electrodes placed in a plastic trough filled with distilled water. The electric potential at different points is measured using a needle connected to a multimeter. These points are then marked on graph paper, aligned with a reference graph placed under the trough.
- 2-12V, 5A, AC/DC power supply with Thermal safety switch and safety sockets.
- Point needle for tracing the field lines through conductive material.
- Different shape of electrodes (bar, disc and ring) to produce different shape of field lines.
- User friendly design and connections.
- To investigate the equipotential lines of electric fields.
- To draw the equipotential lines for bar electrode.
- To draw the equipotential lines for disc electrode.
- To draw the equipotential lines for ring electrode.
