Equipotential Lines and Electric Field Lines

June 18, 2012 - 2nd Meeting of Physics 102.1 Lab

It's been a while since I've done experiments in a physics lab. From mechanics and kinematics, we are to examine the world of electricity and electromagnetism. Our whole physics 102.1 lab journey starts with tracing electric fields through equipotential lines. 

The equipment are new, the style of gathering data is new, and the way we conducted the experiment is surprisingly new. We are to trace equipotential lines in an electrolytic tank where two different electrodes are placed. The set-up is rather confusing, and judging from the way the coordinate system is configured, we are caught up in an array of disastrous coordinates. We started the experiment slowly, but as we figured out the way we would approach the experiment, a swift wind blew throughout our process. We managed to finish the data gathering, although inconsistencies are still seen. 

After the experiment, we are to produce a technical report summarizing the data we gathered.
