Lab Report 2: Electric Field Plotting
PHY 114
, ABSTRACT:
The purpose of this experiment was to find and understand electric field and equipotential lines,
and the relationship between them in two different conductive fields. These fields were
presented as parallel lines as an equivalent to parallel plate capacitor and two concentric circles
as an equivalent to coaxial cylinders. This electric field between two parallel conductors was
found to follow the equation of E = -∆V/∆r. The electric field in the first parallel plot was
found to be 1.123 V/m. With a theoretical value of 1.25 V/cm, there proved to be a 9.92%
difference. Both fields were mapped and plotted, and the data reflecting the results confirmed
that the experiment ended successfully.
OBJECTIVE:
The main objective of this lab was to better understand and experiment with electrical potentials
and electrical fields. This was done by analyzing where points of equal potential (equipotential)
are in an electric field to map a curve that indicated the direction that field lines took.
