- | Your team has become trapped | + | Things have gone crazy in the town of Lakeview. The town and surrounding landscape are under a constant barrage of storms, and there are rumors of strange creatures lurking in the woods near town. |
- | Mayor Rachel Wando is up for reelection and is willing to listen to any ideas to stop the rising death toll, but ever since the lightning storms started she has been in non-stop meetings in which electric fields are being constantly talked about. | + | Jo Harding, a crazy local scientist who has had a few run-ins with storms before, has proposed putting up giant metal T's, with the base of the T inserted into the ground, to protect the townspeople from being struck by lightning. Jo wants the base of the T to be made of wood and the horizontal top of the T to be made of metal. |
- | The code below is the beginnings of your team's work on modeling the electric field from the giant T. Complete the program above to first represent the total electric field just to the right and left of the line of charges. Then, calculate the total electric field at a range of points surrounding the line of charges. | + | The code below is the beginnings of your team's work on modeling the electric field from the giant T.
