Numerical Modelling of a Charged Pendulum above a Grounded Conducting Surface
Secrest, Jeffery A.; Jarra, Ibrahim
Physics Education, v57 n6 Article 065003 Nov 2022
The problem of an electrically charged pendulum above a grounded conducting surface is examined using traditional analyses, such as forces, energy, and torque. The system was numerically modelled using a finite difference method and analysed. A number of classroom activities have been suggested.
