Important questions for you

Purpose

In this lab, you will investigate equipotential lines and their relationship to the electric field. Instead of just reading about voltage and field patterns, you will map them yourself using the PhET Charges and Fields simulation.

Your job is to build charge arrangements, trace lines of equal potential, sketch electric field lines, and estimate the electric field from how quickly the potential changes with distance.

By the end of this lab, you should be able to:

• Explain what an equipotential line means physically.
• Describe how electric field lines relate to equipotential lines.
• Use voltage differences and distance to estimate electric field strength.
• Recognize where the electric field is stronger, weaker, or more uniform from a map.

Simulation Link

Simulation (Embedded)

Setup

1. Open the simulation.
2. Turn off everything except Grid at first.
3. Locate the voltage meter and the ruler.
4. You will use the voltage probe to find points that have the same voltage and then connect those points into equipotential lines.

Important expectations:

• Your maps may be hand-drawn on graph paper or drawn on top of screenshots.
• Your work must be neat and readable.
• Equipotential lines must be labeled with voltage values.
• Electric field lines must include arrows showing direction.
• When you estimate electric field strength, you must show your calculation.
• Submit everything as one single PDF.

What Each Map Must Show

For each of the three setups, your map must include:

• The charge configuration you created
• At least 7 equipotential lines total (the 0.0 V line plus at least 6 others when applicable)
• Voltage labels on the equipotential lines
• 810 electric field lines, drawn so they are perpendicular to the equipotential lines
• Arrowheads on the electric field lines

Think of each page as a clean scientific diagram, not a doodle goblin battlefield.

Part A Two Lines

Build this setup: Make two straight lines of charges about 3 meters apart, one positive and one negative.

Procedure

1. Create two straight charge lines in the simulation, spaced about 3 m apart.
2. Check the voltages near the blue and red charge lines.
3. Use the voltage probe to find points where the voltage is 0.0 V. Mark enough points to trace the full 0.0 V equipotential line.
4. Repeat for at least 6 more equipotential lines at different voltages between the two conductors.
5. Label each equipotential line with its voltage.
6. Draw 810 electric field lines that are everywhere perpendicular to the equipotential lines.

Answer these questions in your PDF:

1. Where do the electric field lines begin and end?
2. Where are the electric field lines closest together? Where are they farthest apart? What does that tell you about field strength?
3. What is the approximate potential midway between the two conductors?
4. What is the approximate electric field strength midway between the two conductors?
   Show your work. Use the voltage difference between two nearby equipotential lines and divide by the distance between them.

Part B Two Circles

Build this setup: Make one positive ring and one negative ring in the simulation.

Procedure

1. Create two circular charge arrangements, one positive and one negative.
2. Map the equipotential lines the same way you did in Part A.
3. Trace and label at least 7 equipotential lines total.
4. Draw 810 electric field lines perpendicular to the equipotential lines.

Answer these questions in your PDF:

1. Where do the electric field lines begin and end?
2. Where are the field lines closest together? Where are they farthest apart? Why?
3. What is the approximate potential midway between the two conductors?
4. What is the approximate electric field strength midway between the two conductors?
   Show your work. You may estimate this using the change in potential over distance near the center, then check with a field sensor.

Part C Random Shape

Build this setup: Make two different random charge shapes.

Procedure

1. Create two different random-shaped charge arrangements.
2. Map the equipotential lines as before.
3. Draw a set of electric field lines on top of your equipotential map.

Answer these questions in your PDF:

1. Where is the electric field strongest? What is its approximate magnitude?
2. Where is the electric field most uniform? How can you tell?

Final Conclusion Questions

Answer these in complete sentences.

1. What changes if you switch which side is red (positive) and which is blue (negative)?
2. If you wanted to push a charge along one of the field lines from one conductor to the other, how does the choice of field line affect the amount of work required?
3. The potential is everywhere the same on an equipotential line. Is the electric field everywhere the same on an electric field line? Explain.

Formatting Rules

• Submit one PDF only.
• Your writing must be readable.
• Your diagrams must be large enough to see clearly.
• Voltage labels must be visible.
• Show calculations for any electric field estimate.
• You may type answers or handwrite them, but the final PDF must be clean and organized.

Q & A of pdf

Note: This lab requires you to listen to sounds played from both YouTube videos as well as the simulation. Please let me know immediately if this is an issue in any way shape or form, as I am happy to accommodate/work with you as needed.

We will use the following external links for this lab:

Part 1: What are Sound Waves?

1. Open the simulation and select the “Waves” tab.
2. On the right side of the simulation, select the speaker icon.
   • Do not check the “Play Tone” box yet, as we want to look at this with high amplitude for a bit and it gets really loud.
   • Alternatively, do check the “Play Tone” box at the risk of your earbuds/ headphones/ ear drums.
3. Slide “Amplitude” all the way to “max,” and press the green button on the speaker (left side of sim).
   • Question 1: Describe the motion of the yellow speaker membrane. How does it relate to the waves shown by the simulation?
     • Specifically, what color is generated when the membrane pulls? What about when it pushes? Which colors do you think are associated with high vs low pressure?
4. Switch the display setting on the right from “Waves” to “Particles.”
   • Question 2: Describe what you observe in terms of the motion of the particles and the motion of speaker membrane. How does the speaker membrane affect the motion of the particles?
     • Again, be specific, what happens as the membrane pushes/pulls? Was you guess correct in Q1? Higher pressure should be more dense and lower pressure should be less dense.
   • Question 3: Pick any red air particle and follow its motion. Describe the motion of the individual particle. Does it ever escape its local area? Or does it oscillate back and forth? Does it have the exact same motion every time? How does the speed of that particle change over time?
   • Question 4: Using your above observations, describe what you might think the definition of a sound wave might be.
5. Consider the following definition of sound waves: Sound waves are longitudinal pressure waves in any material medium regardless of whether they constitute audible sound. (Definition from Merriam-Webster.)
   • Question 5: What parts of the motion of the air particles in the simulation are “high pressure” and which parts are “low pressure?”
     • Answer in terms of the behavior of that red particle you were tracking earlier. It should have two distinct sets of motion that can be associated with high vs low pressure.

Part 2: Frequency and Amplitude

1. Turn “Amplitude” down to zero and check the “Play Tone” box.
   • Optionally, you can change the display to be waves/particles/both however you would like.
2. Gradually increase the amplitude slider.
   • Question 6: Describe what you hear while changing amplitude. Is there another common name that we use for the amplitude of a sound wave?
3. Set the amplitude to a comfortable hearing level. It should be easy to hear but not be too harsh on your ears.
4. Gradually slide “Frequency” to “max.”
   • Question 7: Describe what you hear while changing frequency. Do we have another common name for the frequency of a sound wave?
5. Open (do not play) the three reference sound YouTube links.
   • Question 8: Trying each reference sound one at a time, which of these sounds the same as the simulation?
     • Note: Frequency in the simulation should still be set to “max.”
     • To hear the difference I recommend hitting play on one of the YouTube references, going in to the simulation and pressing play. Then you can pause/play the sim as needed to see if they sound the same.
6. Pause the sound of all reference videos and the simulation.
7. Slide frequency to “min” in the simulation.
8. Play the A3 220 Hz reference.
9. Press play within the sim.
10. Gradually (very, very slowly this time) increase frequency in the sim by about 1 mark on the slider.
    • Question 9: Describe what you hear while increasing frequency.
      • The name for this phenomenon is “” if you want to look in to it more.
11. Gradually (very slowly again) decrease frequency in the sim to “min.”
    • Question 10: Describe what you hear while decreasing the frequency back towards min.

Part 3: Finding middle C

1. Pause your audio reference/simulation as needed.
2. At the end of Part 2 we observed beat frequency. Assuming that the “low” frequency is equivalent to a 220 Hz A3 (it isn’t perfect, but it is quite close) then we can determine from our above experiment that the beat frequency gets faster as you move the frequency slider away from the reference note, and it gets slower as you move towards the reference note.
3. Play the C4 reference video.
4. Use the above strategy to find “Middle C” aka C4 @ 261.63 Hz on on the frequency slider within the sim.
   • Question 11: For this question, submit a screenshot of the frequency slider where you found middle C.

Beat Frequency Visualization

Here we have two pure sine waves being added together. The first wave is having its frequency fluctuate above and below that of the second wave. The second wave is maintaining a constant frequency. The graphed wave is the addition of those two waves. You can see how they go in and out of phase with each other, resulting in a beat frequency. The wub wub wub sound we hear as beat frequency is seen in this graph as the packets of wave vibrations that grow large and small over time.

A cell is the basic structural, functional, and biological unit of all known living organisms. It is often called the “building block of life.”

Key Information:

– Discovery: First observed by Robert Hooke in 1665.

– Two Main Types:

– Prokaryotic Cells: Simple cells without a nucleus (e.g., bacteria).

– Eukaryotic Cells: Complex cells with a nucleus and organelles (e.g., plants, animals, fungi).

– Main Parts:

– Cell Membrane: The outer layer that controls what enters and exits.

– Nucleus: The “brain” that contains DNA and controls activities.

– Cytoplasm: The jelly-like substance where organelles float.

Would you like me to explain the difference between plant and animal cells?
