Electric Field Hockey

 A negative charge was used to attract the positive charged ball.

Here the ball was successfully placed in the goal. But it took more then one charge to guide it past the wall without a collision. 

It was very complicated trying to find a configuration that would allow the ball to hit the goal. But with two positive charges I was able to successfully make it in the goal. 

Active Physics 

This can was taken after analyzing questions 1 and 2

Here we are looking at a single point particle and it electrical field and the field lines tell us alot about the charge. 

We analyzed and saw that the larger the magnitude of the electric field the density of the field lines increases.

Used to analyze question 4

Used to analyze question 5

Used to analyze question 6.

 The Electric Field from an Extended Charge Distribution

The goal was to calculate the electrical field corresponding to a continuous charge distribution on a rod, and the point particle directly above it. The above calculations show the electrical force when the point particle is 5 cm above a rod overing over a 10cm rods center point.
