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

Physics II February 7‚ 2012 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

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

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

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.

Grade 11 physics: SPH3U1-01 | Physics Lab Report | Specific Heat Capacity of Brass | | Jin Jin Shi | 2012/12/6 | Instructor: Mr. Nailer | I. Introduction The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a solid body depends on its change in temperature (ΔT)‚ its mass (m)‚ and an intrinsic characteristic of the material forming the body called specific heat (cp). The heat is calculated from the equation II. Purpose The purpose of this laboratory is to determine

quantities. Heat is a quantity of thermal energy‚ while temperature determines the direction and rate of heat transfer to the surroundings. It is possible for an object to have a very high temperature but contain very little heat and vice versa (physics 312). When a hot body is mixed with the cold body‚ the hot body cools down and the cold body warms up until the mixture as a whole comes to a common temperature‚ that is‚ in thermal equilibrium. By mixing hot and cold substances and measuring the
