J3-12: EQUIPOTENTIALS/LINES OF FORCE - TWO POSITIVE CHARGES.

PURPOSE: To aid in visualization of equipotentials and lines of force.

DESCRIPTION: This model represents the equipotentials and lines of force for two nearby positive charges; it is quantitatively correct for charges of +Q and +3Q respectively. The height of the surface represents the potential; the black lines are equipotential surfaces. The blue lines represent lines of force.

SUGGESTIONS:

REFERENCES: (PIRA unknown.)

EQUIPMENT: Equipotential model.

SETUP TIME: None.
