The Point Charge Electric Field Demo model shows the electric field with multiple point charge configurations and vector field visualizations. Users can select these configurations from a drop down menu or can create their own configurations.
The Point Charge Electric Field Demo model was created using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) modeling tool. It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive. Double click the ejs_em_PointChargeElectricFieldDemo.jar file to run the program if Java is installed.
Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.5 of Java.
