The electric field in a plate capacitor

LP3.1.8.1

Description

The students apply a method for recording equipotential lines between 2 bar electrodes and transfer the results to the electric field in the plate capacitor. To do this, they place the electrodes in a shallow tub of water and determine the potential at different points between the two electrodes using a metal needle. They draw the measured values in a diagram and first visualise the equipotential lines before drawing in the electric field lines.
