| Title: |
Electric Field Web Assignment No. 3 |
| Description: |
Web assignment uses an embedded applet by Physics 1. Three point charges are placed in a line, and the user is asked questions about the field strength and direction at various locations around the point charges. List of helpful resources included. |
| Time Required |
Under one hour. |
| Course: |
Second semester, introductory physics. |
| Audience: |
College General Ed,
High School

| Prerequisites Skills: |
Electric field, Coulomb's law, charge distribution, vector addition, vector algebra. |
| Learning Objectives: |
To understand how the electric field varies around point charges, and to practice vector summation. Also to illustrate how the strength of an electric field is represented with a field plot. |
