(a) In question 5, you compared the electric field at two points on the same equipotential line. Now consider two points on different equipotential lines. In figure 6, where is the field stronger-point W or point Z? How do you know? Segments of equipotential lines W 4 volts 6. 3 volts 2 volts 1 volt
