Electric Field Simulation: Two Point Charges

Electric Field Simulation: Two Point Charges

Interactive Simulation

Visualizing electric fields at points A, B, and C for two point charges q₁ (+10⁻⁸ C) and q₂ (-10⁻⁸ C) placed 0.1 m apart.

Instructions

  • Drag points A, B, or C to see how the electric field changes
  • Use mouse wheel to zoom in/out
  • Click and drag to pan the view
  • Toggle electric field lines on/off

Point A

Position: 0.05 m from q₁, 0.05 m from q₂

E₁A: 3.6 × 10⁴ N/C (right)

E₂A: 3.6 × 10⁴ N/C (right)

Total E: 7.2 × 10⁴ N/C (right)

Point B

Position: 0.05 m from q₁, 0.15 m from q₂

E₁B: 3.6 × 10⁴ N/C (left)

E₂B: 4 × 10³ N/C (right)

Total E: 3.2 × 10⁴ N/C (left)

Point C

Position: 0.1 m from both charges (equilateral)

E₁C = E₂C: 9 × 10³ N/C

Total E: 9 × 10³ N/C (right)
