Potential of continuous distribution
We were asked to find top and bottom potential of the hollow ring. Find the potential using trig. V=k*delta(q)*cos(theta)/x
Different potential at different location.
Electric field line from a dipole
Using conduct paper to find the electric potential
Today we learned how to derive a formula using integral to find electric potential of a point by a continuous distribution body. We realized that the negative of the first derivative of electric potential would be electric field ( partial derivative V= - E). We used spreadsheet in many of our derivations. At the end we were given metal plate to find electric potential at different location between two metal collars.
Here is a quick look at the data:
HW:
The graph of potential between the metal collars.
The graph of electric potential on the right side of lower potential collar
Potential increases if we go opposite direction of electric field, and decreases if we go the same direction of electric field
