1. Consider two regions of space containing a static electric field, region A and region B. In region A the equipotential lines are more closely spaced than those in region B. What can be said about the relative strength of the electric field in the two regions?
A) The electric field in region A is stronger than in the region B
B) The electric field in region A is weaker than in the region B
C) The electric field strength is unrelated to the spacing of the equipotential lines
D) The electric field is directly proportional to the value of the potential in a given region of space. Therefore, more information is required to answer the above question.
E)Both C and D

A)parallel
B)perpendicular
C)at a45 degree angle
D)None of the above
3. In the presence of a static electric field, a conducting surface contains
A) no charge
B) contains a charge
C) is an equipotential
D) Both A and C

F) None of the above
List the ways in which magnetic field lines and electric field lines are similar. For example, the field direction is tangent to the line at any point in space. Also, list the ways in which they differ. For example, electric force is parallel to electric field lines, wheres magnetic force on moving charges are perpendicular to magnetic field lines.
