24th of March's Class
Today, we deal extensively on Electric Field.
We then had the rest of the day working closely with the program Python. Since my group was not aware that we had to bring in a laptop, we had to draw on the whiteboard what the model would look like based on our experience coding with the Python program.
This is what we came up with, and it was actually accurate other than the fact that the cylinders had to stretch out for the entire x, y and z axis.
I circled the cylinders for clarification purposes. The red cylinder is supposed to stretch for the entire y-axis, the yellow cylinder is supposed to stretch for the entire x-axis, and the pink cylinder is supposed to stretch for the entire z-axis.
We did bunch of coding with Python that we did not take a picture of. We were lent a member from another group who had the Python coding in his tablet.
Professor Mason then had us practice calculating electrical field with multiple point charges.
This was the solution he wrote on the board, I had no picture of a solution written by our group as we were lost, so we decided that the time would be better invested listening to the explanations given by Professor Mason than to wrestle with the concept ourselves.
After that, we had practice working with Excel for calculations. The working world would prefer that we be able to efficiently calculate with little mistakes in a short time, therefore practicing how to utilize readily available software would be beneficial instead of manually calculating numbers all the time. This is what the table looks like:
