Question
**Question 2:**

Draw and label a positive and negative charge to make a dipole configuration. Draw the predicted electric field lines, showing the direction with arrows, and also a few equipotential lines.

**Graph Details:**

The graph provided is a grid laid out for visualizing the electric field lines and equipotential lines. You will place a positive charge (+) and a negative charge (-) on the grid to form a dipole.

**Instructions for Completing the Graph:**

1. **Place the Charges:**
   - Identify two distinct points on the grid. Assign one point as the positive charge and mark it with a (+).
   - Assign the second point as the negative charge and mark it with a (-).

2. **Draw Electric Field Lines:**
   - Start drawing lines from the positive charge toward the negative charge. 
   - Use arrows to indicate the direction of the field: from positive to negative.
   - Include multiple lines to represent the electric field radiating outward from the positive and converging on the negative.

3. **Draw Equipotential Lines:**
   - Equipotential lines are perpendicular to electric field lines.
   - Draw these lines as curves surrounding both charges.
   - Ensure that they do not intersect with electric field lines and exhibit symmetry.

This exercise helps visualize the interaction between electric charges and demonstrates key concepts related to electric fields and potentials.
