- The electric field points in the direction of decreasing voltage.
- The positive charge released in an electric field will spontaneously move with field lines.
- A positive charge released in an electric field will spontaneously move from regions of high potential to regions of low potential.
- A negative charge released in an electric field will spontaneously move against field lines.
- A negative charge released in an electric field will spontaneously move from regions of low potential to regions of high potential.
Reflection:
This lab was very helpful for me because it helped me understand equipotential lines and electric field lines. It also helped me the repulsive and attractive force between the charges.
