Chapter 18, Problem 25P

(a) A +5.00 μC charge is located on a sheet of paper. (a) Draw to scale the curves where the equipotential surfaces due to these charges intersect the paper. Show only the surfaces that have a potential (relative to infinity) of 1.00 V, 2.00 V, 3.00 V, 4.00 V, and 5.00 V. (b) The surfaces are separated equally in potential. Are they also separated equally in distance? (c) In words, describe the shape and orientation of the surfaces you just found.
