Activity 5: Rope Mazes Form groups of 2-3 children, each with their own skipping rope and a few cones. Using their ropes and cones, each group makes a maze on the floor that involves a hopping and jumping challenge. Once all groups have finished, children circulate to other groups to try the different mazes.
The electric field strength is inversely related to the square of the distance. So by whatever factor d changes by, the E value is altered in the inverse direction by the square of that factor. The specifics are as follows: a) d increases by a factor of 2; divide the original E by 4.
The electric field from any number of point charges can be obtained from a vector sum of the individual fields. A positive number is taken to be an outward field; the field of a negative charge is toward it. This electric field expression can also be obtained by applying Gauss' law.
