Physics 201 Daily Exercises

Daily Assignment 3/22 (Due Wednesday 3/24):

Please answer the following QUESTIONS:

We now have some important general expressions for vector fields and some for electric and magnetic fields.  Friday we want to test these ideas with familiar examples.

  1. What is the electric potential and electric field around a point charge q?
  2. What is the charge density of that point charge?
  3. Given that the electric field is the negative gradient of the electric potential, how do you go the other way?  In other words, the electric potential is the ???? of the electric field.

Answer in the form below, a short answer for each is fine. 
This report is due by 8:00 am Wednesday morning.
