To address the tasks listed in the image, let's break it down step by step:

1. **Find the equipotential lines (3V, 6V, 9V, and 12V)**:
   - We need to locate points corresponding to these potentials. These points are already mapped in the figure for various potential values. We can identify approximate positions of these equipotentials based on the image and mark them. I will summarize the potential contours and their smooth behavior between the electrodes.

2. **Smooth curves for equipotential lines**:
   - The goal is to draw a smooth curve that connects the points at the same potential values. The image already shows smooth equipotential curves, particularly between the electrodes. Based on symmetry and the field's nature, these equipotentials should enclose the positive and negative electrodes in a manner similar to concentric ellipses or loops.

3. **Draw 8 electric field lines**:
   - The field lines should start at 8 symmetric points from the positive electrode and terminate at the negative electrode. These lines should be perpendicular to the equipotential surfaces and demonstrate the direction of the electric field from the positive to negative electrode. They should bow outward due to the dipole configuration of the electrodes.

4. **Field along the central axis**:
   - To calculate the electric field along the central axis, we can apply the equation \( E = -\frac{\Delta V}{\Delta x} \). We would need potential differences (ΔV) between equipotential lines and the distance (Δx) between those points on the central axis.

5. **Distance between 6V and 9V equipotential lines**:
   - To estimate this, I would use the image to find the points where the 6V and 9V equipotential lines lie. The distance between these lines is essentially Δx, which we can approximate based on the grid of the plot.

6. **Midpoints between equipotentials**:
   - We will compute the midpoints of the distances for each pair of potentials (e.g., between 6V and 9V). These midpoints give the approximate locations where we will calculate the electric field.

7. **Electric field (ΔV/Δx)**:
   - Using the potential difference (ΔV) and the distance (Δx) calculated earlier, we can compute the approximate value of the electric field \( E \) at the midpoints.

In this problem, we analyze the electric field around a dipole by plotting equipotential lines for 3V, 6V, 9V, and 12V and drawing electric field lines from the positive to negative electrodes. We also calculate the field strength along the central axis using ΔV/Δx for different points.
