J3-03: ELECTRIC FIELD LINES

ID Code: J3-03
Purpose: Illustrate the electric field for various geometries.
Description: Samples are mounted in a holder on an overhead projector and charged using a 2500 VDC low-current power supply. The particles in the solution become polarized and align along electric field lines. Sample geometries include oppositely charged points, plates and coaxial circles. Click your mouse on the picture above to see field lines for samples.
