hey...we've done few days ago a physics lab experiment about the equipotential lines and electric field where we used the following apparatus:
a 6-volts battery , contact switch, wooden board with spring contacts, hand probe, fixed probe,galvanometer,resistance box,wires and conducting papers
I just like to know what can be the possible error sources concerning this experiment...as for me i found the following errors:
The first possible error is the unspecific reading on the galvanometer
Second, the probe is circular so we can't specify the reached point exactly since it's head is not pointed...
The third error found is that the conducting paper isn't uniform...so the electric field isn't conserved
I'd like to know if what i wrote is write and please suggest some more possible errors that can be made in such an experiment
thank u
