P.S.
The top setup (five parallel resistors glued to a Pasco sheet)
can be viewed as a very leaky capacitor. We know how the
equipotential lines would look like in a perfect (no leaking)
capacitor. In that case the equipotential lines would not
bend suddenly at the horizontal boundaries of the five
carbon strips.
