Problem 25.6

Animation 1 Animation 2 Animation 3

Please wait for the animation to completely load.

Each animation shows a negative test charge moving under the influence of an electric potential (position is given in meters, time is given in seconds, and velocity is given in meters/second).  Restart. 

For each animation,

  1. Sketch a graph representing the electric potential versus x for the region shown in the animation. 
  2. Sketch a graph representing the electric field versus x for the region shown in the animation.
