Electrostatics and DC circuits practice
Could these be the last PhysicsAviaries for this class?
“I’m not crying, you’re crying...”
- Electrostatic force in a line
- Electrostatic force in a rectangular pattern (ugggghhh, vector addition!!)
- The resistance of a wire
- Current in a wire
- Power in a series circuit
- Current in a parallel circuit
- Power in a complex circuit
- BONUS: Power in a complex circuit #2
- BONUS: Electrostatic force in a triangular arrangement
Gizmos Atwood Machine
An Atwood Machine is basically two masses hanging over a pulley. Did anyone do less to invent a “machine” than George Atwood?
Today you’ll be using a Gizmo to explore the workings of the wonderous Atwood machine.
Click here to log into Gizmos. You’ll need to use the username and password on the paper at the front of the room.
You can work with a partner to complete this activity. Just a reminder for many of you in CP Physics – a partner means ONE other person, not 9 people “working” together.
Calculating the Equilibrant Force
All of our force tables were built when Gover Cleveland was president, so they are a little old.
For this lab, you will be using a virtual simulation instead, but the process is the same as if we had the real thing.
Click here for the simulation.
