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.
V = the pd between the plates. d = the distance separating the plates. Field strength is a vector-it has direction as well as magnitude. This is important to remember because in electric fields you can have field strengths acting in different directions due to different signs of charge.
