Lab Report Day 11

Gauss's Law of Flatland and 3 dimensions

The same drawing labeled and answered for L1, L4, L3 below.

Charge enclosed by arbitrary surface, and lines of flux in and out of surface shown. 

Number of field line is proportional to charge enclosed.

Internal Q=0

Lightning shock scenario, we chose the 4 

Three important variables for integrating length, area, and volume.

3 variables used for flux questions.

Microwaving fork
didnt have sparks as opposite to expectations.

Accumulation of charges on especially the tip of the fork.

Process of Burning Memory disks. The tiny plating in #um caused the sparks of light and damage in the front and back of the memory disc.

Burning of Memory Disc microwaved

Explainations of burned disc in microwave.

Also because the um sized plating on top and back of the disc that accumulates too much charge.

Prediction of Soap in microwave
Result, it didnt melt but become fluffy
shown in the picture below.

 Soap used in the Lab was broken down in smaller pieces for more visual effect. However, nothing happens to the soap in the microwave.

Cant see anything inside because nothing happening to soap.

When ball was standing up of spherical
geometry, it did not have spark
but once it was lying on its side, immediately
there were sparks shown in
video below.

Microwaved grapes that didnt show any effect.
However, it was shown to be sparkling in
youtube video below. 

Microwave is having technical difficulties
as Prof Mason changed a older Panasonic
Microwave.

Jimmy's Caprisun was used to
hopefully create some visual effects.
Result, It shines blue fashes of light.

Microwaving Caprisun.

 Upon further analysis, many types of alcohol burn as blue fire, such as ethanol, methanol, and isopropyl alcohol. Natural gas also burns with a blue flame. Furthermore, metallic pure Zinc can also produce blue fire when burned.  

Double Flame inside

Microwaving light bulb, red to green color shined.
First Argon gas burned, second glass melt
due to high amount of electronegmatic waves
gathering around the edges of the glass to break it.

Microwaving Grapes.

Microwaving of Grapes in a line.

Microwaving Caprisun 2nd time.

Overall, this lab was intensely fun because the amount of demonstrations challenged with previously held beliefs about how physics should be applied to result of things being microwaved.
