Electric Fields and Hockey

     On Wednesday, we calculated the electric field on a point caused by a charged 10cm uniform bar which was a certain distance away from the point. The above picture is an example of such a calculation.
     We then set up a spreadsheet of values consisting of the vertical component of the charge on the point from each segment of the bar. The values were then summed and the total charge on the point was determined to be 1.27*10^5N/C.
     We were also asked to play a couple of rounds of field hockey as a homework assignment. This is a picture of the second difficulty which I completed with one positive charge and one negative charge.



     The third difficulty level required a bit more time to complete and more charges. I ended up using one positive charge and two negative charges.
