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
