We have tried to make good reading and close analysis to minimize random error,but of no avail. I think there could be a presence of systematic error resulting from the apparatus.

Through the use of excel, I was able to graphed the average voltage vs. the number of spooning and found that the data formed a linear trendline through the use of excels linest function. This trendline should be linear because the more times the rod is touched to the sphere than the more charge is going to be deposited on the rod.

The set up of this section had sphere A, which had a positive charge placed on it and next to it there was sphere B whose voltage was read at different angles along that sphere. Sphere B had no net charge originally, and when placed .2 m away from sphere A, there was a negative charge at degree zero which gradually became more positive as the angle reached 180. This is due to the electrons of the sphere getting as close as possible to the positively charged sphere A and on the opposite side there was a partial positive charge on the sphere. The set up of this section had sphere A, which had a positive charge placed on it and next to it there was sphere B whose voltage was read at different angles along that sphere. Sphere B had a net negative charge, and when placed .2 m away from sphere A, there was the largest negative charge at angle 0. This is because the most electrons want to get to the positively charged sphere A. The negative

VC: The set up of this section had sphere A, which had a positive charge placed on it and next to it there was sphere B whose voltage was read at different angles along that sphere. Sphere B had a net positive charge originally, and when placed .2 m away from sphere A, there the smallest positive charge was at angle 0, which indicates that the closest angle from the positively charged sphere A causes the positive charge to move to the other side of the sphere and this is seen as the angle increases to 180, the charge read is more positive.
