Lab 8

Electric Flux:

Nails on a board.

For this lab we used a board of nails all pointing in the same direction. Unfortunately we dont have a picture of the actual item..



We used a wire square to represent an area that an electric field will flow though.
Measuring the hight of the tip of the square we were able to get the angle of the incline of the square and plot the data into logger pro.
The angles were used so we can limit the amount of nails passing through the grid.


The results we were able to fit with a cosine curve, indicating a cyclical behavior.




Activ Physics:








A single point charge inside an enclosed area


A point charge outside an area has no flux.
