Lesson Warm-Up

In your problem solving from the last section, you saw some effects of the forces on electric charges in fields. It is important to realize that you cannot forget your knowledge of Newton’s laws throughout the study of physics. You must have realized by now that you cannot forget the concepts as soon as you take your test!

In this exploration, you will explore the affects of electric forces and fields on the movement of that test charge and try to find an equilibrium position. Use this exploration worksheet to organize your notes.
