| Title: |
Electric Field Web Assignment No. 2 |
| Description: |
Web assignment based on an applet by Physics 1. User is given three point charges and asked about the electric field strengths and directions at various locations around the charges. |
| Time Required |
Under an hour |
| Topics: |
Electric field, Coulomb's law, charge distribution, vector addition, vector algebra. |
| Course: |
Second semester, introductory physics |
| Prerequisites Skills: |
Qualitative summation of vectors, Coulomb's law. |
| Learning Objectives: |
To understand how the the strength of an electric field varies around various point charges. Also, to practice the ability to sum vectors and to understand how the strength of an electric field is represented by a field plot. |
