Using the Interactive

The Electric Field Lines Interactive is shown in the iFrame below. There is a small hot-spot in the lower-right corner of the iFrame. Dragging this hot-spot allows you to change the size of iFrame to whatever dimensions you prefer.

Physics Simulation: Electric Field Lines

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
A source of charge creates an electric field that permeates the space that surrounds. The use of lines of force or electric field lines ae often used to visually depict this electric field. This Interactive allows learners to simply drag charges - either positive or negative - and observe the electric field lines formed by the configuration of charges.

Electric field line Electric field lines are a visual representation of the electric field around an electric charge. In the case of a point charge, it can be expressed in spreading around the charge. The denser the electric field line,…
