The hypothesis is that point charges will produce radially oriented electric field lines perpendicular to equipotential surfaces, with field strength proportional to distance from the charge. Parallel plates will produce electric field lines parallel to the plates and perpendicular to equipotential surfaces, with constant field strength between the plates.

Statement of the Problem
A charged particle has the capacity to bring about an electric field to the area surrounding it. Electric force will occur to any additional particle placed in this area. At a given point, the electric force per unit charge that is experienced by a test charge will be equivalent to the electric field. In order to determine the strength of the electric field, both the rate of voltage change at a certain point and the space between the electric field lines parallel to the equipotential surface will be measured.
Hypothesis
Point charges will have radially oriented electric field lines perpendicular to the equipotental surface. Its electric field is also radial; hence the strength of the electric field is proportional to the distance from the charge. The closer the proximity, the stronger the electric field. On the other hand, parallel plates will have electric field lines perpendicular to the equipotental surface and parallel to the plates. Since there is a fixed distance between the plates, the strength of the electric field will remain the same at all points on the plates.
