Electricity and Magnetism Spring Lab Project
Electric Field Hockey
Objective: Write two paragraphs. Explain the challenges of scoring goals in this game. Be sure to include in your explanation the terms positive and negative charge, electric field line and explain how mass affects the motion of the “puck.” This simulation project is all about getting the puck into the goal while surround the puck with using few positive and electric charges. The positive charges have made the puck bounce back off, while the negative charges have made the puck oscillate to each there meaning that the puck and negative charges are compatible and moves towards each other. However, the two charges and the electric field had played a significant role by letting the audience figure out how to get the puck into the goal. According to the book, electric field is depicted as like the gravitational force and a field force as well. Since field forces are similar to electric field forces, electric field forces are able to produce these open areas where no objects are contacting with each other, but still actively involved with the actions with other objects that were also involved with the electric force fields. The electric field has an equation know as E= Felastic/q0. According to http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/estatics/Lesson-4/Electric-Field-Lines, the electric field has these charges that are composing the electric field that is related to the numbers of charges that the original charge has been carrying and how the electric field also correlates with “the distance from” the original charge. The website implied that the electric field’s direction is also correlated to the “direction that a positive test charge” and is correct due to the fact the electric charge would be positioned itself of encompassing around the original source. Furthermore, the website has depicted the electric field lines as “vector arrows.” The most important fact is that
