Question

I’m don’t understand what the slopes represent for my graphs or what I can conclude from them. Professor was very vague about significance of lab.

General Physics II Laboratory (PHY2054L) Results Record the precisions of your tools. Write below (10 points) Table 1 r (cm)e (degrees) 41.5 28.5 21.5 15.5 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 7.0 8.0 9.0 10.0 14.0 5.5 Table 2 | ) | Potential (kV) 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 θ (degrees 0.5 1.5 6.5 9.5 13.5 17

Answer 1

1.graph between r(cm) and $\Theta$ (degrees)

60 50 40 0 30 20 10 10 12 14 16 r(cm)

2. conclusion drawn from the graph as distance (r) increases force decreases(here θ is a measure of force)

3.

0(degree) versus 1/r^2 60 T 50 40 узд32.1xt 1,638 0.989 bo 30 θ(degree) Linear ((degree)) ◆ 20 10 0.05 0.1 0.15 1/r 2

4. force here follows inverse square law, it decreases with the increases in r(cm), r is the distance between the two bodies

5. slope represents the product of electrostatic constant and charges

6.

potential versus θ(degree) 16 14 12 10 6(degree) Linear ((degree)) -2 02 potential(kv)

conclusion drawn from graph as the potential of source charge increases the force increases

slope here represent the ratio of charge to distance
