Learning Objectives: We will explore the forces exerted between electrically charged objects in this activity. We will explore how the distance between charged objects affects the force on the objects.
Please complete Part 1 and Part 2. The lab report should contain the answers for each question.
Worksheet (Week 2 - Class Z): Electric field due to Continuous charges
Now we are interested in continuous charged objects. Understand different charge density and find the electric field using the charge density. Write down the charge density for different dimensions.
Find the expression for the electric field strength at a point on the axis of the rod as shown in the figure.
5 + + + 4
