NetLogo Electric Potential (Pressure)


This is an investigation into Electric Potential (Pressure) in one or more conductors with excess charge.

It will determine:

  1. how charges will distribute themselves in a conductor
  2. how Electric Potential (Pressure) depends on charge density
  3. how 2 metals in contact with equal Electric Potential (Pressure) have different amounts of Potential Energy (are capable of doing different amounts of work)
