Categorize each statement as true or false. 1. Electric field lines radiate away from positive charges and towards negative charges.
2. Electric field is always perpendicular to equipotential lines.
3. The electric field points in the direction of increasing electric potential.
4. The electric field inside a parallel plate capacitor decreases as it approaches the negative plate.
5. The units of electric field are either newtons per coulomb or volts per meter.

Place several e-field sensors at a few points on different equipotential lines, and look at the relationship between the electric field and the equipotential lines. which statement is true? 1-at any point, the electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential line at that point, and it is directed toward lines of higher voltages. 2-at any point, the electric field is perpendicular to the equipotential line at that point, and it is directed toward lines of lower voltages. 3-at any point, the electric field is parallel to the equipotential line at that point.
