Electric Flux

 

In this experiment we wanted to see the change in Flux as the plate changes in angle with respect to the electric field.  The nails in this case represents the electric field as it goes through the wire plate.  The necessary measurements need for this lab was the height and and hypotenuse lenght in order to get the, theta, angle between the normal vector of the plate with respect with the electric field.

The Graph above represents the Electric flux vs the change in angle.  The result was a Cosine wave.  This graph shows how flux is related to the equation of the dot product between E*dAcos(theta).

The above picture displaces how the electric field is uniform within an enclosed sphere

The above photograph shows how the flux of to charges inside a closed sphere is depended upon the net charge inside.  Flux= (Q_enlcosed)/E_0
