Abstract
An electrical field mapping system with an improved measurement and recording method which enables students to produce an electric field map of equipotential lines and electric field vectors. Measurements of an electric potential point and an electric field vector may be made by a three-probe sensor with pointer and displayed on voltmeters. An angular scale below the pointer may assist to measure the direction of the electric field. An X-Y transfer mechanism transfers the location of the three-probe sensor, from the space around electrodes, to a marker at a corresponding location in the recording area. Recordings of the field data are made by markers with different impressions and may include an electric field vector, equipotential line segment, and electric potential point.
