The Electric Field

We used ActivPhysics to answer the above questions that pertained to the behavior of particles of like charge, opposite charge, or differing magnitudes. We varying the distances, number of particles, and charges to observe their behavior with each other

We were given an extended charge distribution. We were given an insulated object with uniformly distributed charge and were excepted to compute the corresponding electric field experienced by a given point at a given distance d. We utilized excel to do most of the calculations to give an approximate value as to what the point p would be experiencing if it was a charged particle.

We were given the assignment to use an interactive program to demonstrate the behaviors a charged particle or in the case of the game the "puck"  would experience as a result of the attributes that another charged particles would exert on it due to its electrical field.

Throughout this lab we discussed and conducted experiments to demonstrate the behavior particles go through when in the presence of another particle , where they would experience a force and therefore an electric field. We observed the superposition principle where multiple charges were in the same given area of each other.
