The scale is can measure to 0.001g, ( not sure about the actual accuracy) and the neutral spheres that i am using in the experiment which will be polarized are between 1g and 5g. Other factors such as humidity, light and vibration are being minimized or kept constant.
Is there a way to calculate the magnitude to which a piece of equipment is able to measure?
If not, would it be wrong to assume a really small value of change given by the equipment compared to something and use that as a starting level?
what i mean is, for example, if i have a neutral object...
I understand the range is infinite, but for example if i try and put a neutral object away from a charge creating an electric field of small magnitude, even though the effect of the field should have infinite range, practically, it would not be possible to actually see a measurable effect on the...
Hello daveen,
Thank you for the response. How do i determine at what point the field strength is not strong enough to cause any change due to polarization on the object which can be seen with the naked eye? because by equations, the electric field expands to infinity, and only then it is...
hello,
I was wondering if there is a way in which it would be possible to calculate the distance at which an electric field would need to be to polarize a neutral object or mass m, to a point where the object being like a rod, aligns with the field. I guess this is dependent on the mass...
Hello,
I am trying to design an experiment where I can calculate the distance at which polarization will not have a measurable effect on a neutral object, from a sphere charged by a Van Der Graaf generator. I am measuring the weight change caused by the polarization of the neutral object with...
