PHYS 1112
Electric Field PhET Lab
Name(s):
Purpose:
In this lab you will investigate how a charge creates a field around itself, how test charges behave
when placed in that field, and how the field various for different point charge distributions. Then you
will apply these concepts to an Electric Field Hockey game.
Procedure:
1. Go the website http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/charges-and-fields and click Run Now.
2. Type your answers directly into this document, which you will then submit to the Electric Field
PhET Lab online dropbox in your course.
3. Place a 1 nC positive charge and E-field sensor in the test area. Click Show E-Field to
observe the field lines and observe the sensor’s arrow as you drag it around in the field.
a. What do you observe? Filed lines are positioned outward direction of the charge and the
sensor arrow also goes outward direction of the charge.
b. Replace the positive charge with a negative charge (remove charges by dragging them
back into their box). How does this change the electric field?
Filed lines are positioned inward direction of the charge and the sensor arrow also
goes inward direction of the charge.
c. By convention, field arrow point out
a positive charge and
into
a negative charge. As the sensor gets closer to a point charge,
the field strength created by that field is increases.
.
4. Set up positive charge and a negative charge in the test area, along with an E-field sensor
