Abstract
This experiment was performed to find the electric field strength from different distance to the charged point. The field strength was determined statically, by measuring its electrical potential when subjected to loading, and dynamically, by measuring the electrical potential at different location on the conductive paper. The electrical potential was measured from three different points for each positive charge and negative one.
Introduction
The objective of this research performed is to explore the relationship between electrical field strength and the distance from the charge. This research should fulfill Gauss’s law, which also known as Gauss's flux theorem, is a law relating the distribution of electric charge to the resulting electric field.
The law was formulated by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1835, but was not published until 1867. It is one of the four Maxwell's equations which form the basis of classical electrodynamics, the other three being Gauss's law for magnetism, Faraday's law of induction, and Ampère's law with Maxwell's correction. Gauss's law can be used to derive Coulomb's law, and vice versa.
This experiment also designed to determine if the electric field and the distance from point to the charge has negative correlation (means the electric field strength is decreasing as the distance is increasing). In this experiment, the voltage of the point (the electrical potential) has been measured and we chose three different points to be measured. We also recorded the coordinates of charges’ and points’, which were used to calculate the distance from the point to the charges.
