Charges and Fields Simulation

1. Open “Charges and Fields”. Click the show E-field button and the grid button. Drag a positive point charge over.
Draw the electric field lines. Drag it back.

2. Drag a negative point charge over. Draw the electric field lines.

3. Place a positive charge and a negative charge about three large boxes away from each other. Draw the electric field
lines.

​ oxes away from each other. Draw the electric field lines.
4. Place two positive charges about three ​large b

5. Place two negative charges about three ​large ​boxes away from each other. Draw the electric field lines.

Electric Field Hockey Simulation
1. Open “Electric Hockey”. The goal of this game is to get the black positive puck to go in the goal.
2. How can you set up just one negative charge to score a goal? (Remember to hit start)

3. Clear each time you try a new set up. Reset if you want to retry your current set up. How can you set up just one
positive charge to score a goal?

4. Change the mass and see what happens. What happens when the mass is lighter?

5. Why does the mass affect the speed if it is not a part of the electric force equation?

6. Now play the game. Set difficulty to 1, then 2, then 3. When you beat each level, draw your set up.
7. Level 1 set up:

8. Level 2 set up:

9. Level 3 set up:
