Abstract The purpose of the overall experiment is to given a certain distribution of charge and map the electric field by identifying the equipotential surfaces/lines around the charges. Four templates are investigated, such as parallel strips of metallic paint, concentric rings. In the lab, we confirm that the electric field line is orthogonal to the equipotential line. We can also demonstrate that as one gets closer to an electrode, the equipotential contours approach the shape of the electrodes

bar changes the device into somewhat of a magnetic sensor. In essence, the pickup “feels” the vibrations of the strings disrupting its magnetic field, and translates that into an electrical charge [ (Henshall, 2011) ]. “The basic science behind pickup function is Faraday's Law of Induction. It states that a changing magnetic field causes an electric field to be set up in a nearby wire, causing a current to flow if the wire is part of a closed circuit (a loop of wire for example)” [ (Wallace, 2004)

Pay to Play: Economic Impact of Paying College Athletes 1. Purpose of Research & Analysis On April 25, 2014, the National Labor Relations Board in Washington, D.C., granted Northwestern University's request to review the decision made by the regional office recognizing the school's football players as employees. In mid-April, Northwestern football players voted as a team on whether or not to unionize, but the votes will only be opened if the board ends up siding with the players, which may take

per unit area perpendicular to the magnetic field. Weber: SI unit of magnetic flux. (Wb) Tesla: SI unit of flux density, equal to one weber per square meter. Gauss: unit from the CGS (centimeter-gram-second) system, unit of flux density. Hall Effect: The change in current density produces a small trans- verse voltage in the material. Electromagnet: Produces a magnetic field only when there is current through a conductor

‘’Insignificant Gestures’’ by Jo Cannon In 2007 Jo Cannon published her essay ‘’Insignificant Gestures’’, which portrays a young doctor’s time as a district health officer at the age of twenty-eight in Africa. When the doctor returns from Africa, he was fed up with the disgusting odor of blood and starvation. Therefore he retrained as a psychiatrist. During the time he spent in Africa he had a young servant named Celia, who lived with him in his house, and her main tasks were to iron his clothes

English 1010 11 April 2015 The Effect Rain Has on Baseball There is no place in the world I would rather be than on a baseball field. Nothing is more exciting to me than when baseball season rolls around. With a new season of baseball comes a new season of weather, and with a new season of weather, comes rain. Rain can put a damper on baseball in many different ways. There is nothing more disheartening to a baseball player, coach, team, or even groundskeeper than rain. Peter Morris writes

Week Five Exercises Chandler W. Morgan PHY/101 May 2, 2015 Dr. Rashmi Sharma Week Five Exercises Ch. 22 Exercise 8 Your hair becomes positively charged upon the removal of electrons through the comb. These electrons are now present in the comb and absent from the hair causing the comb to have a negative charge. Because both the comb and the hair were neutral, electrons have a negative charge. http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/63557/why-does-the-comb-attract-the-pieces-of-papers-if-theyre-neutral

mathematics. My overall percentage in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry are YY%. In all of my academic successes, my competitive spirit acted as a catalyst in me. Given my love towards science and technology, pursing study in the engineering field was almost like a natural consequence. To study the programme, I had to overcome many a hurdle- such as the common entrance examination which I had to take alongside thousands of students. I passed the examination with flying colours, being placed
