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)
