012-04346B Introduction The PASCO scientific MODEL PK-9023 Field Mapper consists of two basic elements. The first is a carbon impreg- nated paper in the resistance range of 5 KΩ to 20 KΩ per square. This paper forms the conducting medium or space between the electrodes. The second element is a conductive ink dispensed from a pen. The ink is produced from silver particles in a suspension liquid. As the ink dries, the silver flakes settle on top of each other forming a conductive path, + - (o

012-04346B Equipment Setup IMPORTANT: The silver conductive ink reaches its maximum conductivity after 20 minutes drying time. For optimal results plan the timetable for conducting the experiments and correlate drawing the conductive ink paths accordingly. 1. Plan and sketch the layout (size, shape and relative spacing) of the charged paths to be studied on a piece of scratch paper. These paths can be any two dimensional shape, such as straight or curved lines, circles, dots, squares, etc. Sin

A steady flow of water is a good approximately of this type of flow. Now the flow is generated by “sources” which supply fluid and “sinks” which absorb fluid.
