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.

b. A piece of pencil lead is connected in series with an ammeter and a power supply.
The power supply is turned on. After a few minutes, although the potential difference
across the pencil lead does not change, the current in the circuit increases
significantly. Explain why the current increases.
c. Electric fields are caused by both point charges and by parallel plates with a potential
difference across them. Describe the difference between the electric field caused by a
point charge and the electric field between parallel plates. Your answer should include
a diagram of each type of field and reference to electric field strength.
