Electric Dipoles

The nail board was used as an example to show how flux works.

Again we spent a lot of time in vpython creating an electric fields for a dipole. The rest of the time we went over dipoles and doing calculations for them.

Electric Fields

We spent a lot of time programming in vpython to create a vector field. The rest of the time we went over electric fields and doing calculations for them.

VPython

from visual import *

OrangeB= sphere(pos= vector(-3,0,0), radius=0.25, color= color.orange)
WhiteB= sphere(pos= vector(3,3,0), radius=0.25, color= color.white)
CyanB=sphere(pos= vector(3,-3,0), radius=0.25, color= color.cyan)

arrow(pos= OrangeB.pos, axis= WhiteB.pos - OrangeB.pos, shaftwidth= .15)
arrow(pos= WhiteB.pos, axis= CyanB.pos - WhiteB.pos,shaftwidth= .15)
arrow(pos= CyanB.pos, axis= OrangeB.pos - CyanB.pos,shaftwidth= .15)

Electrostatic Force

The tape was pulled apart to see how the opposite and same pieces of tape would react to each other.

The graph show how two balls repel each other.

The charge put through the ball is causing the paper to stand on end.

Charge was put through the ball to see what the metal "propeller" would do.

We put strip of tape on top of another strip of tape and did it again, then we pulled them apart to see how they reacted to each other. Another experiment was to put a charge through a hollow ball with paper stuck to it to see what the paper did. We did it again, but with a metal "propeller" on top to see what it did. Also we graphed how two balls repelled each other. Between all of that we did calculations for electrostatic force.
