Purpose: The purpose of this activity is to be able to calculate the cell potential using vpython program when there are two parallel uniformly charged rods or a charged ring.
A ring of charge (in blue) was created using vpython where we placed multiple observation points on the ring itself that gave the net total potential at each point around the ring based on these 4 spheres that were designed approximately in the middle of the charged ring.
The results show that the cell potentials were V=-2.25, -2.73, -2.25, 0, 2,25, 2.73, 2.25,0 respectively 1-8 locants going around the ring from the top. The 8 observation locations were set and the results was as predicted as the cell potential changes around the ring but is the same at opposite points of the ring. The cell potential are zero when the positive and negative cancels out as seen in the model.
I created two charged rods by using multiple point charges in a straight line creating a line of charge. Six codes of charges were added parallel to each other on each side of the observation points. The 4 observation points were then placed in between at the designed locations where the total electric potential values were calculated and displayed for each point due to the charged rods.
The electric potential energies were shown above.
