V. CALCULATIONS/MAPPING Using the equipotential sketches draw representative electric field lines (include direction) in the region between the conductors and near the outside areas of the conductors and the smooth field curves from the equipotential data.

VI. CONCLUSION/QUESTIONS

1. What general statements can be made about the strength and characteristics of electric

fields for the conductor configuration you mapped in the lab?

2. Compute values for the electric field at four different points on the point-line plate.

Comment on the validity of your values.

3. What are the possible problems with the techniques used in the lab to find the electric

fields?

there are no contact forces mentioned on the list of choices that you've provided.

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
