Lab 2: Charges, Fields and Potential Lines 1. Using the voltmeter, record the potential V by drawing a green line on the screen at each distance. Fill in the table at the far right. Include a screenshot with all of the green circles. 2. Write the equation for the electric field at any distance r from a point charge q : 3. Write the equation for the potential at any distance r from a point charge q : 4. Using the table above, make a graph in Excel of electric field E and distance r to determine Coulomb’s constant k using the appropriate trendline. Hint: In Excel your trendline will not be straight – the equation for E(r) is not linear. You must ask Excel to apply a power trendline appropriate to your equation. This is called “curve fitting”. What power would you expect based on the equation? I expect a low value for the power based on the equation. 5. Insert the graph below and write down the k value that you found. Compare this value to the accepted value. Report your error as follows:
K = m/q = -5.35/1.6*10^-19 = -3.34375*10^-19 Vm/C 6. Using the table above, make a graph in Excel of voltage V and distance r to determine the constant k again using the appropriate trendline. (The same hint as above applies, but the work will be slightly different because the equation is different.) 7. Insert the graph below and write down the k value that you found. Compare this value to the known value using percent error/difference.
