In this assignment you will be making an analogy between the electric potential and altitude. You will learn how to think of electric potential as
being like an "electric altitude with regards to the potential energy of a
charge
In the space below this paragraph, draw a contour map for an imaginary
island. The island should have contour lines for sea level (0 meters), 10m,
20m, 30m, 40m, and 50m altitudes. Mark a point A on the sea level
contour. Mark point B on the 30m contour, and C on the 50m contour. Now
plot an imaginary round trip hike on your "map" that starts at A, goes to B,
then to C, and finally returning to A.

It may seem strange that the selected velocity does not depend on either the mass or the charge of the particle. (for example, would the velocity of a neutral particle be selected by passage through this device? ) the explanation of this is that the mass and the charge control the resolution of the device--particles with the wrong velocity will be accelerated away from the straight line and will not pass through the exit slit. if the acceleration depends strongly on the velocity, then particles with just slightly wrong velocities will feel a substantial transverse acceleration and will not exit the selector. because the acc
