1. The experiment examines the electric filed on the surface of plates covered uniformly with low-conducting coating. Every plate has imbedded over the coating a pair of high conducting shapes (electrodes). You will experiment with three configurations: two circles, a circle and a segment, and two parallel segments. Give a list of the three configurations in descending order of electric field uniformity in the area among the electrodes, i.e. first is the configuration with most uniform electric field, last is the one with least uniform electric field.

2. When mapping the equipotentials on the plates with dissimilar electrode configurations you may find that some have important areas with uniform distribution of the equipotential lines. If the distance among such lines is 0.5 cm, what is the electric field there (in units SI)? Suppose the applied potential dissimilarity between the electrodes is as recommended in the manual.
