3/24 Electric Fields

We use Python to program a 3D graph where we can visually see the direction the electric field is going from the point charge.

This is a prediction of how we expect the VPython code to look up when it runs. Our prediction was wrong. 

This is the calculations to find the X and Y component of an electric field.

We use Microsoft Excel to calculate the electric fields given the k, q, and  the radius.

We used line integrals to calculate electric field across a line.

This is a list of descriptions of electric fields.

This picture shows the steps needed to be taken in VPython to make a graph that looks like the one we drew on the whiteboard.

We use Microsoft Excel to calculate the electric field in the X and Y axes. Since the point charge was at the center, the sum of the magnitude is 0.
