Definitions:
The electric field is a vector field created by electrically charged particles that can
change the local properties of about space, giving rise to the notion of a field.
The electric potential represents the work required to carry a charge from infinity
to an electric field point to be studied.
A field line is the path we just followed from a point and following the vectors.
A field line is always orthogonal to the equipotential of the same field.

Materials to use:

Experimental set-up:
Manipulation 1:
In a Rheographic cellar filled with tap water, we positioned two flat conductors
(metal plates) so that they touch the bottom of the cellar. Each plate is
connected to a terminal of an electrical generator, one to the neutral and the
other to the phase.
By setting the multimeter selector to the 20 V~ position and the voltage source
to the 12 V~ position, and using a single-wire probe connected to a multimeter,
we measured the voltage between the two metal plates placed in the
Rheographic cellar filled with tap water, by pressing the Generator Start button,
in accordance with the following operations:

y = Ax + B
As B = 0 (passes through the origin);

Conclusion:
There are lines called equipotential lines that are located between two
positively and negatively charged conductors, whether they are flat or
cylindrical. On these lines, the potential is constant, which corresponds to
straight lines parallel to the two plane conductors and concentric circles with
the two cylindrical conductors. In addition, the field inside the two loaded
conductors, whether flat or cylindrical, remains constant.
