Dipole moment & Flux

Here we show electric fields and there effects on a positive and negative charge, which is they go in opposite directions. By treating the particles as if there was a rod between them, then there would be a negative torque applied to the rod. The torque can be found by knowing the quantity of p and the angler the center of the rod makes with the horizontal

 

Here we put a conductive metal cylinder on top of a device that supplies electrons. We predicted that the excess electrons would cause the foil pieces connected to the string to move away, both inward and outward, from the cylinder. What really happened was only the outer foil pieces moved away from the cylinder. This is due to the simple principle that excess electrons will get as far away from one another. We also discovered that the electric field inside a conductor is zero.

Here we explore the concept of Flux, which is the difference between the electric fields going inside and outside of a surface.

Above are the solutions to a questions in regards to flux.
