1) Which trendlines available in Excel you are going to use to fit you data for:
a) (1p) Electrostatic potential within a cylindrical capacitor as a function of a distance from the center? Explain why!
Logarithmic Trendline
The electrostatic potential inside a cylindrical capacitor as a function of distance from the center is proportional to log (distance).
b) (1p) Electric field within a cylindrical capacitor as a function of a distance from its center? Explain why!
Power Trendline,
c) (1p) Electrostatic potential between the plates of a parallel plates capacitor as a function of a distance from one of the plates? Explain why!
Linear Trendline,
V = constant x distance
d) (1p) Electric field between the plates of a parallel plates capacitor as a function of a distance from one of the plates? Explain why?
Linear Trendline
In a parallel plate capacitor, the electric field between the plates is approximately uniform and constant regardless of the distance from either plate.
