Experiment 2-02: Electric and Potential Fields Jaffar Mohamed Partners: Kiyan Aslani, Srujan Miryala, Rathika Manikandan, Meryl Bohbot
09/18/2023 D04 Lab Essay: The objective of the experiment was to determine the charge density according to three plates that had distinct charge configurations. In order to determine the charge density, the initial step was finding and establishing the equipotential and electric field lines for each individual setup, resulting in a unique charge arrangement. Figure 1 represents these lines for a point charge. The first figure included two charged plates, the second had two charged spheres, and the third was a mixture of one sphere and one plate. To identify the charges in each arrangement, a voltmeter was used to investigate five equipotential lines, which assisted in finding the individual electric field lines. An axis perpendicular to that of the plates was drawn, where V = 0 volts. After the maps were constructed, the coordinates of the points were documented, and the
potential and position of the opposite plate were documented as well. This would then allow for the determination of the Charge Density (σ) and Electric field magnitude (E). Measurement: Calculations:

Analysis and Conclusion: Overall, I believe that the lab was a success. The magnitude of the electric field was determined to be 72.03 V/M and the electric density was found to be 6.4*10
-10 pC/m

. All the procedures were followed successfully as we were able to correctly identify the equipotential and electric field lines. There could have been some human error from not connecting the circuits the right way, or not reading the voltmeter correctly. There also could be some mistakes with calculations as well. However, I believe that the experiment was a success.
