Within the simulation, select the checkboxe for Grid. Deselect everything else. Put together a random assortment of charges like what is shown in the figure. (a) Use the equipotential sensor to draw several closely spaced equipotential curves, as shown. The curves should be close to one another, but unlike before they do not need to be in even potential steps. (b) Choose a location directly between two equipotential curves. Use the measuring tape to measure the horizontal and vertical displacement from one curve to the next (through your chosen location as shown in the figure). Record these displacements and the potential difference between the curves. Note: You will need to Ay be cautious about signs. Make sure you decide which equipotential curve to start at and which to end at. (c) Calculate the electric field in each direction using your data. Show your work and record the values in the space provided. (d) Use these results to determine the magnitude and direction of the electric field at the chosen location. Show your work and record the values in the space provided. (e) Confirm your result by using the electric field sensor to directly measure the magnitude and direction of the electric field at that location.
