    Course: Instructor: Date: Electric Field and Electric Potential Abstract The purpose of this lab exercise was to map out electric potential (v) around electrodes in a water bath. This was done by measuring the voltage drop between one fixed location and a large number of various locations in the water. Afterwards, the associated field was calculated. The electric field strength E, was calculated from a map of the electric potentials by taking the potential difference between two closely-spaced

    Abstract- A home-made dc sputtering is characterized by cathode potential of 250-2000 V and sputtering gas pressures of (3.5×10-2 – 1.5) mbar. This paper studies in experiment the breakdown of argon, a uniform dc electric field at different discharge gaps and cathode potentials. Paschen curves for Argon are obtained by measuring the breakdown voltage of gas within at different target cu,Au,Ag, vacuum chamber . The Paschen curves in Ar gases show that the breakdown voltage between two electrodes

    green led will light to indicate a negative total circuit voltage. After that we measure the Voltage of battery which were 5.63Vdc. After that I adjust the positive variable supply (V6) for voltage reading equal to that of V5 then I measure the potential difference between positive terminals of V5 and V6. The meter indicated me near zero because circuit batteries were series-opposing. Then I adjust V6 for

    Possible Hidden Transmission Issues Transmission problems are no joke. Sometimes they can be very easy to pinpoint, while other times it may take a full inspection to determine what is possibly wrong. Regardless of whether it seems like the transmission or not, it is important to have your car looked at. What may not seem like a transmission to an unsuspecting car owner, can end up causing a lot of damage once it is eventually discovered. Here are some transmission issues that may not be immediately

    The Potential Impact of Electric Vehicles on the Oil Industry Question A Crude price differentials refer to the differences which are seen in the prices of the different types of crude oil (Oosterman, 2013, para. 2). Sweet crude, such as West Texas Intermediate (WTI), tends to be favored over sour crude as it has a higher yield, requires less refining to meet sulfur content standards, and has fewer environmental issues (Oosterman, 2013, para. 4). Therefore, the sweet crude tends to have a higher

    investigation, I hope to gain a thorough understanding of the Seebeck effect and create a homemade thermocouple to see how electrical potential created at a junction of leads (of different metals) varies with temperature. Continuing down this line of thought, I ended up with the following research question; Having an understanding of the Seebeck effect, how will the electrical potential generated at the junction of leads made of different conductive materials vary with temperature, which will be measured by

    configuration explicitly, by assuming that we have two capacitors that differ in capacitance and are supplied a voltage V from a battery. Figure 1: Several different arrangements for the capacitors used in the experiment. Prediction The potential differences V across the two capacitors in parallel is the same. The total charge Q, however, stored in the two capacitors is divided between the capacitors, since it must distribute itself such that the voltage across the two is the same. The energy
