SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on creating conducting paper and alternatives for undergraduate electromagnetic (EM) lab experiments. Participants explore the use of conducting inks, specifically silver inks, for mapping conductor shapes in integrated circuit (IC) design. The accuracy of these inks is acknowledged as application-dependent, particularly when applied physically with a brush. Additionally, the complexity of rigging up electrolytic tanks for experiments is noted, highlighting a need for further exploration in that area.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic principles
  • Familiarity with integrated circuit (IC) design
  • Knowledge of conducting inks and their applications
  • Basic skills in experimental setup and rigging
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties and applications of silver conducting inks
  • Learn about the construction and use of electrolytic tanks for EM experiments
  • Explore techniques for field mapping in electromagnetic studies
  • Investigate alternative materials for creating conducting paper
USEFUL FOR

Undergraduate students in electrical engineering, educators designing EM lab experiments, and researchers interested in practical applications of conducting materials in electromagnetic studies.

Can I make conducting paper/carbonized paper on my own for use in in an undergrad EM lab? Are there alternatives for experiments that help learn field mapping? How can I rig up and electrolytic tank that may serve my purpose?

There are conducting inks which are used for this purpose I have used silver inks for mapping odd conductor shapes for IC design-- to be honest I have no idea of their accuracy which depends on application ( physical by brush ), but they certainly give an idea where the hot spots are. I cannot comment on tanks they sound to me to be a lot more tricky but that's just my lack of familiarity.
