The Field Work sticker sheet gathers several Pixelated Physics characters on one page, each built on a real piece of physics. Nine kiss-cut pixel-art stickers on one A5 sheet: Lenzor (Lenz’s law), Gyrolla (cyclotron), Azurwake (Cherenkov), Diagonix (polarisers), plus props. Peel them off one at a time and stick them wherever the physics belongs.

The physics

Nine stickers on one sheet: four characters who do their work through fields, and the light that fields make.

Lenzor’s line is Change the Flux. I Push Back. Drop a magnet down a copper pipe and it sinks slowly. Its moving field induces eddy currents in the copper, and by Lenz’s law those currents oppose the change that made them, braking the fall to a steady terminal speed. That is the copper pipe marked SLOW.

Gyrolla’s line is Bigger Circle. Same Lap Time. A charge moving across a uniform magnetic field circles with radius r = mv/(qB), but its lap frequency qB/(2πm) does not depend on speed. Ernest Lawrence built the cyclotron on that fact in the early 1930s. That is the orbit in a field marked × (pointing into the page), where a positive charge goes round anticlockwise.

Azurwake’s line is Faster Than Light. In Water. Legally. Nothing outruns light in vacuum, but light in water travels at about c/1.33, and a charged particle can beat that. It then sheds a cone of blue light at cos θ = 1/(nβ), about 41° in water for β near 1, the glow Pavel Cherenkov saw in 1934. That is the cone on the H2O tag.

Diagonix’s line is Nothing Got Through. Then They Added Me. Two crossed polarisers block everything. Slip a third between them at 45° and an eighth of unpolarised light gets through: ½ × cos²45° × cos²45°. That is the three filters and the 1/8 tag.

Equations

\[\begin{gathered} \mathcal{E} = -\frac{d\Phi_B}{dt} \end{gathered}\]
\[\begin{gathered} q v B = \frac{m v^2}{r} \;\Rightarrow\; r = \frac{m v}{q B} \\ f_c = \frac{q B}{2\pi m} \end{gathered}\]
\[\begin{gathered} \cos\theta = \frac{1}{n\beta}, \qquad \beta > \frac{1}{n} \end{gathered}\]
\[\begin{gathered} I = I_0\cos^2\theta \\ I_{\text{out}} = \frac{I_0}{2}\cos^2 45^\circ\,\cos^2 45^\circ \\ I_{\text{out}} = \frac{I_0}{8} \end{gathered}\]
