Explore the magnetic field in different situations with this java applet. You can select from various fields, view the vector potential, and see how particles move in the field.
This is a 3D simulation of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field. Adjust the strength of the magnetic field, the particle mass, particle charge, and its initial velocity in the x and z directions using the sliders. Hit the RUN button to observe the path of the particle in the magnetic field.
The Magnetic Field Interactive allows a learner to explore the magnetic field surrounding a simple bar magnet. A compass can be dragged about in the space surrounding the bar magnet and the effect of the magnet on the compass needle can be observed.
View the magnetic field lines or use a meter to show the direction and magnitude of the current. You can also play with electromagnets, generators and transformers! Play with a bar magnet and coils to learn about Faraday's law.
Explore the interactions between a compass and bar magnet, and how to make a magnet with a battery and wire. Learn about magnetic field strength, direction, and reversal, and compare bar magnets and electromagnets.
Explore how a changing magnetic flux can produce a flow of electricity in this interactive simulation. Learn about Faraday's law, induction, and the difference between moving the magnet through the coil and vice versa.
