Questions

Electric Field Mapping Change the font color to green when inserting your responses. Pay attention to formatting. 1. Describe the relationship between the density of electric field lines and the strength of the electric field. As the density increases, the number of lines increases. The higher the charge, the higher the number of lines. So, as density increases, so does charge. 2. Where was the electric field the strongest when using two round conductors? Explain your answer referencing Photo 1. The electric field was strongest when closest to the positive conductor. 3. What conclusion can you make about the electric field strength between two parallel plates? Explain your answer referencing Photo 2. The electric field is equal across and around the parallel plates. 4. Do your electric field and equipotential lines appear as expected? Explain any deviations from the expected fields and possible sources of error. The lines are expected due to the previous labs....
