Problem
At point P, a 150 V equipotential line passes 1.0 mm directly north of P, while a 140 V equipotential line passes 3.0 mm directly south of P. Qualitatively state (a) the direction of the electric field at P and (b) whether the field magnitude just north of P is greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude just south of P.
