HoMEWORK FOR LAB 2: ELECTRIC FIELDS, FLUx AND GAUSS 1. Describe the properties of electric field lines a. If the total number of lines leaving or converging on a what does that tell you about the magnitude of b. What does the direction of a line at each point in s represent? What does the density of lines represent? electric field lines originating from the +q charge. need to be exactly correct, but they should illustrate that you u c. 2. Based on your observations of electric field lines in this lab, sketch several many from a charge of +3. (Note that your sketches don t properties of electric field lines discussed in Question 1.) +3q Activity 1-3 to determine the electric flux passing through each surface. The elec- tric field has magnitude 5.0 N/C at the location of the surface of area of 1.5 cm2. Show your calculations. 3. For situations a through e, use the definition of flux that you developed in b. d. LAB 2: ELECTRIC FIELDS, FLUX AND GAUSS' LAW

Explanation / Answer

Answering only question 1 as per chegg policy

(1)

(a)The number of electric field lines leaving a positive charge or entering a negative charge is proportional to the magnitude of the charge. Therefore, charge will be double for double the number of lines.

(b) The tangent to any point in Electric field lines gives the direction of electric field at that point.

(c)The density of lines represent the magnitude of local electric field. Denser lines mean higher electric field intensity in a region.
