ELECTRIC FIELD MAGNITUDE VS DISTANCE SQUARED GRAPH:

*Input your answers after each question.

1. Discuss the relationship between electric field magnitude and distance squared for a single positive charge based on
your graph.

The relationship between the electric field and the square of the distance are inversely related. Electric field
strength is dependent on the location. The magnitude decreases when the distance is far from the source.

2. Discuss the relationship between electric field magnitude and distance squared for a single negative charge based on
your graph.

The relationship between electric field and the square of the distance for a single negative charge based on our
graph are inversely proportional. Since as the electric field decreases, the distance for a single negative charge which is
needed is increasing.

3. What does the slopes of each graph represent? Explain.

The electric field is always a way radio and goes away from the positive charge, and a way electric charge
can build up is through friction between materials that differ in their ability to give up or accept electrons. The magnetic
charge will always be at the center of the electric field. This magnitude is also known as e negative. Explosive moments
will eventually cancel each other out. The overall electric field is twice the electric field in the wire direction, according to
the Wycombe. Because of magnitudes, the magnitudes of these two electric fields are identical to each other, as shown
by the equations above. The direction can be deduced from the fact that the figure is negative.
4. What is the direction of the electric field of a single positive charge for each value of x?

For each positive charge, the direction for that would be to the right. The Direction of each electric force is the
same with the direction of the electric field because positive charges repel. Furthermore, placing a sensor would show
you that the strength of the electric field is directed outwards relative to the charge.

5. What is the direction of the electric field of a single negative charge for each value of x?

Meanwhile for the negative charge would be to the left or towards the center of the charge, negative charges
indicate attractions. When you put a negative charge on the grid of the simulation, you will see that the white arrows on
the background that represent the electric field's direction face towards the center of the charge, no matter where on
the grid you place the negative charge.

6. What happens to the strength of the electric field of a single positive charge as the distance increases?

Electric field strength is location dependent, and its magnitude decreases as the distance from a location to the
source increases. And by whatever factor the distance is changed, the electric field strength will change inversely by
the square of that factor. Therefore, as distance increases the strength decreases. This is due to the inverse square
law.

7. What happens to the strength of the electric field of a single negative charge as the distance increases?

The strength of the electric field of a single negative charge as distance increases seems to decrease. It implies
that there is an ongoing inverse relationship whereas one increases, one will decrease. For this experiment, that would
be the strength of the electric field of a single negative charge and its distance. The relationship is also evident in the
formula E=(k|q|)/x^2 where E is the electric field and x is the distance.
