Electrical Potential Lab/Activity
The electrical potential was analyzed in this experiment in order to gain a understanding of the electrical potential difference and the effects of the electrical field as the distance increases from the power supply. The Potential difference between the two metallic paint marks was determined to be 15V.
The Potential difference between the lower and higher potential conductor was determined to be zero for both. This tells us that no work was done because W=deltaV*D, deltaV=0 in both cases therefore no was done in the case of the lower potential conductor and higher potential conductor.
The graph represents the the potential change of the increasing distance from the power supply. Looking at the data the positive charge goes from higher to lower potential in the negative x direction, which can be seen in the graph above as the distance increases so does the electrical potential .
Here are the questions that address what it takes to the move the charge or change the potential energy.
Here we can see the that volt meters are equivalent to newton coulombs.
Question1 deals with a situation when Point A and B are in a area of no electric field.
Question 2 deals with a situation where A and B are in a strong electric field.
