SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the relationship between electrical potential and electric fields as they transition from dipole configurations to parallel dipoles. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the mathematical equations that describe these phenomena, particularly in the context of lab instructions and data analysis. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in correlating the equations with physical concepts, such as equipotential contours and field lines. A suggestion is made to utilize LaTeX for better mathematical representation.

Welcome to PF.

That's a pretty big ask. Didn't your instructor cover this in class? It's better if you post what you understand and what you don't understand. It's best to post math using LaTeX (see the "LaTeX Guide" link below the Edit window).

I don't even see the relation between this question and the screen shots. Does the word 'dipole' appear on pages 1 or 2 ?

What I do see on the screen shots is some lab instruction. Figure 2 on page 3 could well be one of the configurations mentioned under 'Data Analysis', so perhaps you can post your results for that configuration ? Equipotential contours seem to have been measured and field lines drawn.
