  • Multipurpose power supply.
  • Point needle for tracing the field line.
  • Easy setup and connection.
  • Electrical safety tested.
  • Equipotential lines.
  • Electric field lines.
  • Surface potential.
  • Voltage.

Principle and Working:
An equipotential line is a collection of points in space when each point has the same value of electric potential. In the present setup, a voltage is applied between a pair of electrodes placed in a plastic trough filled with distilled water and voltage is measured at different points with a needle connected to a multimeter. The points are marked on another graph paper with reference to the graph placed under the trough.
