Terminology for Week 2

Simpson's Rule pg. 305

procedure in which the approximating strip has a parabolic arc for its upper boundary

Electric Dipole University Physics pg. 690

a pair of point charges with equal magnitude and opposite sign, say, q and -q, separated by a distance l

Electric Dipole Moment University Physics pg. 691

the product of the charge q and the separation l

Gauss's Law University Physics pg. 713

states that the total electric flux out of any closed surface is proportional to the total (net) electric charge inside the surface

Electric Potential Energy University Physics pg. 731

the potential energy for the electric field force F_y=-q^'E is U=q^'Ey (y is the height; q is the charge; E is the electric field)

Equipotential Surface University Physics pg. 746

a surface on which the potential is the same at every point. Field lines and equipotential surfaces are always mutually perpendicular
