Electric Field Mapping Apparatus

F17電力線分佈實驗

Item no.: F17

Introduction

Base on Coulomb’s law, the magnitude of electric field E produced by single charge Q might be given below, which induce an irradiated outward electric field for + Q or irradiated inward direction of electric field for – Q.

While consider the work done of charged particle moving in the electric field, the resultant potential difference might be formulated as below. Here the direction normal to measured equipotential lines, Vi =0, Indicate the intended electric field(as shown of dash line), in other words, the distributions of eletric field might be also concluded if the profile of equipotential lines is determined.

The designed device of smaller size, economical cost and easy-to-use offers a single conductor-bar shifting on the testing board of graphite, embedded in plastic plates with four popular patterns, permanently printed on in highly conductive paint to constitute the Wheatstone-bridge circuit, and then various equipotential lines, induced by different dipoles, might be easily outlined by individual contour with equal sub-potential accessed using single conductor-bar. In this subject, experimental knits will help us visualize the pattern of electric field (line of electrostatic force) which are orthogonal to the distributed equipotential lines measured from various aspects of electric dipoles.
