PHY 221: Fields, Potentials, and Motion of Charges - Summary Fill in the blanks.] 1. Electric field lines start on Clue: Positive/Negative charges and end on charges. towards 2. Positive charges accelerate from regions of Clue: high potential / low potential. potential 3. Equipotential surfaces are surfaces of Clue: constant /varying to an equipotential surface. 4. Electric field lines are Clue: Perpendicular / parallel surface! 5. Electric field lines are perpendicular to the surface of a conductor; thus, a conductor is an towards 6. Electric field lines point from regions of Clue: high potential / low potential as the electric field points, and negative charges move in the 7. Positive charges move in the of the electric field. Clue: Same direction/ opposite direction 8. The work done by the electric force as a charge moves on an equipotential surface is Clue: zero / positive / negative
