M4 Laboratory Report 3 Worksheet

PhET Simulation: Charges and Fields - Potential

Instructions

• Before you start to work on this worksheet, review the M4.0 Laboratory Report 3 Instructions
• Submit completed work to the M4.0 Laboratory Report 3 dropbox. See the Schedule and Course Rubrics in the Syllabus Module for due dates and grading information.

Objectives:

1. Investigate the concept for Electric potential and its dependence of distance and magnitude of charge.

2. Measure Electric Potential and visualize Equipotential lines.

3. Determine Electric potential due to multiple charges.

Pre-Lab Activities:

1. Open the simulation using the link to PhET Interactive Simulations at the University of Colorado Boulder:
