Electric Field Hockey

In this activity, you will again explore the relationship between an electric field and charged particles in the field, but this time you’ll have a gaming challenge. To begin, open Electric Field Hockey.

Directions:

On the control bar, make sure that the Puck is Positive and the Field boxes are checked. Also, make sure that the Practice option is selected.

Your aim is to score goals by manipulating the black puck (test charge) into the blue-colored bracket (goal) on the right. Think smart and place positive source charges (red) and negative source charges (blue) in such a way that the black puck moves into the goal.

Note that when you place a red, positive source charge in the hockey field, a red arrow appears on the black puck (test charge) showing the force the positive charge exerts on the puck. Similarly, when you place a blue, negative source charge in the hockey field, a blue arrow appears on the black puck (test charge) showing the force the negative charge exerts on the puck.

Question 1
Part A
Place a red charge on the hockey field and click Play. In which direction do electric field lines point? In which direction does the black puck move? What conclusion do you draw from this movement?

Part B
Click Reset and then click Clear. Now, place a blue charge in the hockey field and click Play. In which direction do electric field lines point? In which direction does the black puck move? What conclusion do you draw from this movement?

Part C
Manipulate the mass of the puck by dragging the mass bar to the right to increase the mass and to the left to decrease it. What changes do you see in the speed of the puck? Which principle works behind this change?

Part D
In the same situation, what do you observe about the relationship between the speed of the black puck and its distance from the blue charge?

Question 2
You can make the puck travel in complex ways by placing a set of charges around on the field. So, here’s your game challenge: Arrange sources charge around to propel the puck from its starting position into the goal. That’s pretty easy for a straight shot; you just put a negative charge behind the goal. But what if there are barriers along the way? This is a real test of your physical understanding, including Newton’s laws of motion and electrostatic forces. Game’s on!

Part A
On the control bar, check the Trace and Field boxes. The game has three Difficulty levels. Start with Difficulty level one and arrange source charges to get the puck into the goal. Once you’ve made a score at any level, increase the Difficulty level. Take a screen capture of two of your most difficult goals and paste them here. At least one of these should be at Difficulty level 2 or 3.
Please Answer Questions with complete sentences.

Suppose that you rubbed a balloon with a sample of animal fur such as a wool sweater or even your own hair. The balloon would likely become charged and its charge would exert a strange influence upon other objects in its vicinity. If some small bits of paper were placed upon a table and the balloon were brought near and held above the paper bits, then the presence of the charged balloon might create a sufficient attraction for the paper bits to raise them off the table. This influence - known as an electric force - occurs even when the charged balloon is held some distance away from the paper bits. The electric force is a non-contact force. Any charged object can exert this force upon other objects - both charged and uncharged objects. One goal of this unit of The Physics Classroom is to understand the nature of the electric force. In this part of Lesson 1, two simple and fundamental statements will be made and explained about the nature of the electric force.

Perhaps you have heard it said so many times that it sounds like a cliché.

Opposites attract. And likes repel.

These two fundamental principles of charge interactions will be used throughout the unit to explain the vast array of static electricity phenomena. As mentioned in the previous section of Lesson 1, there are two types of electrically charged objects - those that contain more protons than electrons and are said to be positively charged and those that contain less protons than electrons and are said to be negatively charged. These two types of electrical charges - positive and negative - are said to be opposite types of charge. And consistent with our fundamental principle of charge interaction, a positively charged object will attract a negatively charged object. Oppositely charged objects will exert an attractive influence upon each other. In contrast to the attractive force between two objects with opposite charges, two objects that are of like charge will repel each other. That is, a positively charged object will exert a repulsive force upon a second positively charged object. This repulsive force will push the two objects apart. Similarly, a negatively charged object will exert a repulsive force upon a second negatively charged object. Objects with like charge repel each other.

The activity where to explore the relationships between the electricity field charged with particles and those of the hockey field

The positively change will attract to each other and will opposite to the negatively changed ones.

Arrows point away from the positive charge and toward the negative charge.
