Electric Field Mapping Apparatus, Overbeck, CENCO Electric Field Mapping Apparatus, Overbeck, CENCO A Classic Apparatus That Gives You Excellent Quantitative Results A highly accurate apparatus that uses the null method to find equipotentials. The equipotential lines of an electric field define its size and shape. You can use this set to map these lines, a necessary step in determining the electric lines of force. Experiments with this apparatus are based on the field-mapping board, sources within to paint your own design in conductive silver paint (WL1960C). A potential divider with eight equal resistors is connected to the board, which has seven banana jacks along its top surface. To plot a point on an equipotential line, cover the board with graph paper and slip the long U-shaped probe around the board. With the probe and galvanometer connected to one of the seven potential jacks, a new reading is found at all points on the equipotential. A hole in the probe allows the paper to be marked. Plotting and connecting these points for each of the banana jacks gives an excellent picture of the equipotential lines. Requires a galvanometer and a battery or regulated power supply, not supplied.
