ANALYSIS
The fifth experiment entitled Electric Fields and Equipotential Lines, was all about the
nature of electric fields by the help of mapping the equipotential lines and then drawing in the
electric lines of force. The mapping was done with the help and use of a conductive paper, a silver
ink pen which served as an electrode, and a digital multimeter which aided the researchers in
locating points of the same voltage. What is an electric field? An electric field is a property of
electric charge. This is present in all points in space when an electrostatic force exists, or is present
at the point of consideration. To make it simple, since electric field is a property of electric charge,
and is a vector quantity. Electric fields are present if a charged particle is placed at a point that
experiences a force which cannot be felt by an uncharged particle. One an electric field is present,
electric field lines will be present too.
For the first part of the experiment, it was observed that some of the voltage in the selected
