Question Description
PH221 – Week 1 Lab

Coulomb’s Law
Before you can start working on the labs you must set up an account at KET Education and download the labs to your computer. Please follow these directions to access your physics labs.

Welcome to the Lab component of Physics II. All our labs use simulation applications of real laboratory equipment that are combined with measurement and graphing tools to allow you to explore, observe and analyze experiments. Each week you will complete one laboratory exercise using a virtual lab application and then use your results to write a formal lab report. Each experiment will be based around one main topic.

For this week’s lab you will use the Electrostatics simulation. Download and read the following user guide to familiarize yourself with the simulation.

Download the instructions for two laboratory activities you will complete this week. You may wish to print them out and use to collect and organize your results.

Coulombs Law Lab

Use the data and answers to the laboratory questions to help you write your lab report. Your lab report should focus on calculating the coulomb force acting on the charged pith balls and the charge on each pith ball. Then you should compare those experimental results with the actual charge indicated in the simulation.

The lab report will have the following six sections. Include section headings in bold at the beginning of each section.

Introduction – Explain the purpose of this laboratory and what results you expect to see in this experiment.

1.Background – Discuss the concepts that form the foundation for this lab. You should address what you learned from the weekly lectures and readings that are related to the lab.
