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.
