Sketch the equipotential lines in the vicinity of two opposite charges, where the negative charge is three times as great in magnitude as the positive. See Figure \({\rm{19}}{\rm{.28}}\) for a similar situation. Indicate the direction of increasing potential.

Water has a large dielectric constant, but it is rarely used in capacitors. Explain why.
What happens to the energy stored in a capacitor connected to a battery when a dielectric is inserted? Was work done in the process?
Figure \({\rm{19}}{\rm{.28}}\) shows the electric field lines near two charges \(q1\) and \(q2\) , the first having a magnitude four times that of the second. Sketch the equipotential lines for these two charges, and indicate the direction of increasing potential.

Can different equipotential lines cross? Explain.
