Question

As isolines of electric potential get closer together, the electric field gets stronger. What shape would a hill have as the isolines of gravitational potential get closer together

Answer 1

Answer:

as isolines of gravitational potential get closer together, a hill will shape in the form of a constant negative slope

Explanation:

As change in the potential with respect to position gives the direction of electric field and path of electric potential gives the direction of electric field that is ;

dV/dr= -E

dV = - E dr

Here dV is the change in potential, dr is the change in position and E is the change in electric field.

Looking at the equation,  as isolines of gravitational potential get closer together, a hill will shape in the form of a constant negative slope
