Magnitude: 3.0 μC

Mobile Charge

Type:

Magnitude: 1.0 μC

Simulation

Speed: 25×

• Drag charges: Move the red and blue source charges along the horizontal axis.

• Position test charge: Click and drag the green/orange test charge anywhere.

• Set initial velocity: Hold Shift, click the test charge, drag to draw a velocity vector and release to set initial velocity.

• Adjust magnitudes: Use sliders to change charge strengths.

• Run simulation: Click Play to see the test charge move along the electric field.

• Pan canvas: Click and drag anywhere on empty space to move the view.
