Start with a positive charge and use the equipotential meter to measure the values at various distances from the positive charge. Which observations are correct? Select all that apply.

• As the distance from the charge increases, the electric potential increases.

• As the distance from the charge increases, the electric potential decreases.

• As the amount of charge increases, the electric potential at the same distance increases.

• As the amount of charge increases, the electric potential at the same distance decreases.

Start with a negative charge and use the equipotential meter to measure the values at various distances from the negative charge. Which observations are correct? Select all that apply.

• As the distance from the charge increases, the electric potential increases.

• As the distance from the charge increases, the electric potential decreases.

• As the amount of charge increases, the electric potential at the same distance increases.

• As the amount of charge increases, the electric potential at the same distance decreases.
