1.

Draw a positive charge with field lines:

2. Draw a negative charge with field lines:

3. Is a standard charge positive or negative? Why?
A standard charge is positive because we discovered electricity before electrons and positive
seemed like the logical choice to go with before we discovered the electrons.

4. What did you discover playing the electric field hockey games? How do charges interact?
What worked or didn’t work?
Negative charge attracts positive and vise-versa and two positive charges repel. Charges react
by pushing or pulling one another. A combination of charges worked best.

5. What is the equation for calculating the electromagnetic field force (Coulomb’s Law)?
F=((k)(q​1​)(q​2​))/d^2

6. Show a calculation proving the force equation above works using the numbers from the
simulation (hint: k = 8.99 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2) Assuming the ruler is a meter stick, the force should
be 13.5 N’s. F=(8.99 x 10^9(25 x 10^-6)(478 x 10^-6))/9 square meters=11.88 meters

7. Draw a positive and a negative charge near each other with field lines (like in a magnet):

8. What would happen if you moved a wire parallel past a strong positive and negative charge
near each other (a magnet)? They would attract the electrons off the wire and create a current
which generates electricity.
