Day 14

Electric Potential Lab

 

In this laboratory experiment, the electric potential  on a special conductive paper.  A voltage source of 15 volts was the transmitted through the conductive paper on the indicated area.  The Voltage then was measured a distance a way from the indicated area for the voltage at a different distance.

 

The measured values obtain were then put into a spreadsheet on excel in which the electric potential was calculated using the equation (delta V)/(delta x)

The following are pictures are the questions answered from the lab hand out.

In the above picture the first question deals with the work done at a point were there is no electric field. the second question deals with the work done at distances were there exist a stronger electric field.

 

The above picture displays the work it takes to move further into the electric field.

 

In this picture we display that the (delta V)/(delta X) is has the same units as the electric field.
