The diagram at right, obtained with the PhET simulation, “Charges and Fields”, represents a small part of a crystal lattice, with alternating positive and negative ions. 

 

A. On a printout of the axes below, sketch a graph of the electric potential (V ) and the x-component of the electric field (Ex) as a function of position (x) along the dotted line (x coordinate).
