This is accomplished by configuring the microsphere to have single excess electron and thus a net charge of $q = -e$, and then driving it with a known electric field and observing the response. + +- This project is reasonably straightforward from a conceptual standpoint, but will require you to think about the Fourier Transform and write some of your own functions and array manipulations + ### Grading rubric diff --git a/docs/index.md b/docs/index.md index 28c8e3c..63fc7d7 100644 --- a/docs/index.md +++ b/docs/index.md @@ -103,10 +103,9 @@ This is sufficient for the notes, but to do the tutorials you will need to downl * [Notebook 2: "Ripples in 2D Electron Gas"](https://github.com/KIPAC/Physics89L/blob/main/nb/08_02_Ripples_in_2D_Electron_Gas.ipynb) - + ## Contact and Legal
