Why You'll Be Charged Up for More:
- Interactive Charge Placement & Dragging: Tap anywhere on the expansive canvas to instantly place positive or negative point charges (up to 10 μC in magnitude). Drag them around in real-time to watch how the electric landscape shifts dynamically. It's like being a digital physicist, sculpting invisible fields with effortless precision.
- Stunning Visualizations That Reveal the Unseen:Field Lines Mode: Trace the elegant paths of electric field lines emanating from positive charges and converging on negatives. Arrows at the ends highlight direction and strength—perfect for visualizing superposition and grasping why fields never cross.
- Equipotential Contours: Unlock smooth, log-spaced equipotential lines that glow in vibrant reds for positive potentials and blues for negatives. See how these perpendicular guardians of constant energy encircle charges, making it crystal clear why no work is done along their curves.
- Heatmap Overlay: Immerse yourself in a mesmerizing color gradient—fiery reds for high positive potentials, cool blues for negatives, and neutral grays in between. Powered by logarithmic scaling for accurate representation, it's a visual symphony of scalar potential that highlights gradients like never before.
- Precision Measurements & Insights: Switch to Test Point mode and drop a green probe anywhere to measure the electric field (E) in N/C and potential (V) in volts. A dynamic vector arrow shows direction and magnitude, while live readings update instantly. Drag charges or the probe to explore how distance, magnitude, and sign influence these values—witness Coulomb's law in action!
- Seamless Controls for Effortless Experimentation:Adjustable charge sliders (1–10 μC) with type toggles for positive/negative.
- One-tap toggles for visualizations—mix and match or focus on one for deeper dives.
- Clear All button to reset and start fresh, plus a legend for quick reference.
Educational Depth Meets Intuitive Design:
Built on the timeless principles of Coulomb's law (E = kq/r²) and potential (V = kq/r), where k = 8.99 × 10⁹ N·m²/C², this simulator scales a 100-pixel grid to 1 meter for realistic computations. Avoid singularities with smart proximity checks, ensuring smooth performance even near charges. The sleek, gradient-infused interface adapts beautifully to tablets and phones, with responsive touch controls that feel natural.
Bonus Learning Boosters:
- Integrated Theory Hub: A concise overview of key concepts—superposition, field lines, equipotentials, and more—with formulas and real-world ties (think capacitors, dipoles, and lightning!).
- Brilliant-Style Quiz Challenge: End your session with a fun, Duolingo-inspired 3-question evaluation. Earn glowing stars for correct answers on field directions, potential decay, and line relationships. Instant feedback keeps the momentum going—perfect for self-assessment or classroom sharing.
