submitted: 5/29/13 ELECTRIC FIELD MAPPING I. ABSTRACT: In the Electric Field Mapping‚ we used charged electrodes to create an electric field on a glass tray with a piece of linear graph paper attached to the bottom. We tested several simple electrode positions by moving the probes and drew equipotential lines based on the voltage difference. We then confirmed that the equipotential lines run perpendicular to electric field lines by looking at the experimental data points. Lab Partner: Matthew

You rub balloons in your hair and then hang them like in the picture below. Explain why you think they move apart and what might affect how far apart they get. They move apart because they become charged while you are rubbing them in your hair and the charges are the same on both balloons. The more charges you get on the balloon

Introduction and Experimental Goal: An electric field surrounds all electrically charged particles. With electric fields‚ one can determine the effects of all of the charges in the environment. In this lab entitled “Electric Fields and Potential Mapping”‚ the main goal obtained was to examine and deliberate the effects of an electric field and electric potential. Examples of some effects of electric fields include resultant forces‚ changes in motion‚ changes in current flow‚ etc. By using conductive

Electric Fields Lab Abstract: In this lab we will study the equipotential lines in an electric field in order to study the structure of the electric lines of force. We will plot the position of electric field lines in a given electric field using both a manual method and a computer software program. There is an electric field in any region where there is a force on an electric charge at rest. It is convenient to represent an electric field

SACE Stage 2 Physics Electric Fields 1 Solution 1. (a) State Coulomb’s Law. Any two point charges have acting on them equal sized oppositely directed forces acting along the line joining their centres. The magnitude of these equal sized forces is directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart. The forces are attractive for unlike charges and repulsive for like charges. [pic]. e.g.

Electric Motor The goal of this experiment is to build a simple electric motor and observe how it works. I will attempt to make it spin evenly by attaching it to a battery via jumper cables. The independent variable is the battery charge (1.5 V) and the dependent variable is how fast the motor spins. The lab doesn’t have multiple experiments for us to test this but I would hypothesize that the two variables would have a positive correlation: higher voltage‚ faster spin. I built my tiny motor

EXPERIMENT 5 – MAGNETIC FIELDS OBJECTIVES 1. To study the workings of magnetic fields. 2. To determine the North and South poles of magnets and magnetic field lines. 3. To understand the attractive and repulsive forces acting on it. INTRODUCTION Electric current is defined as the rate at which charge flows through a surface. As with all quantities defined as a rate‚ there are two ways to write the definition of electric current. I = Δq Δt and instantaneous current for

Electric Charge and Electric Field:-> 1. Electric Charge Electric charge is a fundamental property like mass‚ length etc associated with elementary particles for example electron‚ proton and many more. Electric charge is the property responsible for electric forces which acts between nucleus and electron to bind the atom together. Charges are of two kinds (i) negative charge (ii) positive charge Electrons are negatively charged particles and protons‚ of which nucleus is made of‚
