EXPERIMENT #1: ELECTRIC CHARGE AND THE ELECTRIC FIELD PHY 2092-10 By: Kamal Aljohani Date Performed: 12 January 2015 Date Submitted: 30 January 2015 Lab Partners: Martynas Mickus Sean Small Instructor: Robert J Lucia INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this experiment is to analyze the static electricity, electrical charge, charge grounding, inducing charge, and electric polarization. We used two wands that created positive and negative charges when rubbed together one is blue and the other is

Static Electricity or Electrostatics Peter Jeschofnig, Ph.D. Version 42-0278-00-01 Lab Report Assistant This document is not meant to be a substitute for a formal laboratory report. The Lab Report Assistant is simply a summary of the experiment’s questions, diagrams if needed, and data tables that should be addressed in a formal lab report. The intent is to facilitate students’ writing of lab reports

HW 1 solutions Point Charge in One Dimension A point charge q1 = -3.5 μC is located at the origin of a co-ordinate system. Another point charge q2 = 5.1 μC is located along the x-axis at a distance x2 = 9.3 cm from q1. 1) What is F12,x, the value of the x-component of the force that q1 exerts on q2? -18.57 N For all of these problems we want to make use of the standard electric force equation: ̂ So for this problem with K=9*109 Nm2/C2, Q1=-3.5μC, Q2=5.1 μC, and r=9.3 cm we get F=-18.57

electricity is an unbalanced electric charge • This occurs when there is unbalanced number of neutrons and protons, unlike current electricity that occurs when there are conductors involved • The cause of static electricity is when there is an unbalanced molecular construction or non conductive insulators such as plastic, glass, ceramics, and other non conductive materials • All physical objects are made up of atoms -Charges: • One of these properties is called an electrical charge. Protons have a "positive"

David Zendejas Period 2 April 11, 2015 Honors Physics Static Web quest Electric Field Hockey The whole point of the game is to make the puck go into the net, but the only thing to get the puck moving is by adding protons and electrons to the ice. The game makes it so that you can change the charge on the puck’s charge to either positive or negative. If the puck is positive you can add protons near the puck so the puck and proton would repel

Microeconomics: Hawaiian Electric a Monopolist Company The research discoursed in this essay predominantly focuses on how Hawaiian Electric is a monopolist company. A monopoly is a firm that produces the entire market supply of a particular good or service. Normally in a monopoly firm the barriers to entry are high to eliminate potential competition, the market power is significant and firm has control over the prices of their product, and the type of product is exclusive. These consumers have no

The banana was used as the main source in this experiment because the main objective was to find out if a fruit could charge an iPhone without being plugged into an actual outlet. In this lab, the Coke acts as an acid and the banana is potassium. The RCA cables were used as connectors to stick one side into the banana and the other side in the Coke itself. The Coke can

Electrocardiography is a noninvasive recording of the electrical impulses that originates from the sinoatrial node of the heart that is detected by electrodes placed near the heart. Unlike the conventional ECGs, the vital sign detector will utilize the electric field between two charged plates which will change

that occur all over the world. Lightning is formed by electric charges in the sky, from positive charges to negative charges. Lightning can also be very dangerous if exposed or struck by it. When thinking of lightning, the general thought is about a yellow streak of light zooming through the sky, however lightning can vary in size, color, pattern and many more things. One type of lightning is cloud to ground lightning with a negative charge. This type of lighting is a lightning discharge between

In order to produce lightning, a cloud must first become electrified. Cloud electrification must occur on two spatial scales. First, a small scale process that charges individual hydrometeors must occur. Second, a large (~5 km) scale process that effectively separates the charges by polarity. There are several primary theories of how storms become electrified. These include a convective mechanism, and inductive mechanism, and lastly a precipitation – or non-inductive – mechanism. These three theories
