3/26 Flux

We are given a scenario where an electron goes through two plates with opposite charges. We draw the trajectory of the electron and determine that it is the same as projectile motion. To the right is how two opposite charges behave when they are not colinear.

In the case that the charges are not colinear, there is torque. We derived a formula for torque and then derived the work done from the derived torque formula.

This is our prediction for how the VPython code would look in red, and how the vectors should look in green. 

We drew the flow of an electric flow given that it was between two opposite charges and two negative charges.

We calculated the formula for flux in red and we found the normal vector for the 3D objects.

We were asked to calculate the flux on the box. In order to illustrate this, we opened up the box to clearly show which sides of the box had 0 flux because it was parallel to the electric field and which sides were not parallel. The sides marked in green individually had flux but canceled each other out since one side had flux going in and the other side had flux going out.
