Abstract

We modify a standard Freshman physics experiment with the aim to produce high density plots of two-dimensional electric potentials versus position. To achieve this we connect a voltage probe to a rotary motion sensor and a computer interface so that it becomes possible to sample and record the potential at high rates through horizontal and vertical transects of the conductive paper. We perform some data filtering, and then illustrate the method with the electric dipole.
