In the experiment of mapping equipotential and electric field lines, why do we need to measure the maximum potential between two electrodes?

Question

anonymous · Answer

To find the strength of the electric field?

anonymous · Answer

Unless you're trying to find the cell potential. Is that what your trying to ask?

anonymous · Answer

The difference between the electrode potential equals the cell potential

anonymous · Answer

I don't really get the question actually. It doesn't specify us to find anything. That's the whole question. But I think your answer is correct anyway. :) Thank you!

anonymous · Answer

The standard electrode potential is the potential difference of the cell because the actual potential of anything cannot be determined.

anonymous · Answer

That is correct
