Journal Entry: Mini-lab
Determination of the relationship between two charged particles and the separation distance between them. Go to this website: http://employees.oneonta.edu/viningwj/sims/coulombs_law_s.html If you're in class, you will be assigned charges to use. If you are absent today, use the following guideline to choose charges: Birthday Jan - March: Stationary ion= +1 Mobile ion = +2 Birthday April -June: Stationary ion = -2 Mobile ion = -3 Birthday July - September: Stationary ion = +2 Mobile ion = +2 Birthday October - December: Stationary ion = -3 Mobile ion = -1 You may type your data table, but please remember print it off and properly insert it into your journal--same with the graphs. Be complete and correct with your titles, labels, and units. :) Your journal entry will include:

Notes: electric fields around multiple charged particles
Practice problem to quantify electric field strength Extra Practice (and E.C. opportunity): Phet Electric Field Hockey Google search for Phet Electric Field Hockey--open/run the Java file For each of the tasks, make sure you are using a positive puck, m = 25, and the "trace" is checked on so we can see you puck's path. Expectations: - do NOT maximize the screen--use the original given size - your puck may not travel off screen. It must stay visible on screen for the entire run from start to goal. - You are not allowed to use the glitch in the program that allows for "quantum tunnelling". The puck MUST go around each of the walls (zig zag through the maze) - the puck must be a 'GOAL" by hitting the front of the goal, not the back. there are 4 modes: practice, and difficulty levels 1, 2, and 3. For the practice mode: get the puck into the goal using between 15 and 20 other charges. Create a creative non-straight pathway into the goal For difficulty 1: get the puck to the goal by going around 1 wall For difficulty 2: the puck must go around each of 2 walls individually (not both at once) and into the goal For difficulty 3: the puck must weave around all 3 walls (6 walls, if you count the T at the end) Assignment extra credit points awarded for each level successfully completed. Please take a screenshot of your successful goal, insert it into a Word document, and email the document to me. 1 bonus quiz point for the one who can successfully get the goal in level 3 without disobeying any of the expectations, and with the fewest number of additional charges used to modify the puck's path. (per class period...) Your proof of goals must be emailed to me no later than Wednesday, January 23, at 10 AM--this is the first day of finals and the last day I'm accepting any late/make-up work or extra credit submissions. Have fun :) And please ponder the concepts of electric fields and force while doing this game. |
