Arrange positive and negative charges in space and view the resulting electric field and electrostatic potential. Plot equipotential lines and discover their relationship to the electric field. Create models of dipoles, capacitors, and more!
In this video David explains why physicists came up with the idea of the electric field, how it's useful, and explains how the electric field is defined.
Electric fields are present around objects with charge, which allows the electric force to act on charged objects which are not in contact. An electric field causes an electric force on other charges that enter the field. The electric field is defined as the amount of electric force per charge at a point in space.

2 lut 2023 · What are Electric Field Lines. Electric field lines or electric lines of force are imaginary lines drawn to represent the electric field visually. Since the electric field is a vector quantity, it has both magnitude and direction. Suppose one looks at the image below.
28 sie 2019 · An electric field is a region of space around an electrically charged particle or object in which an electric charge would feel force. An electric field is a vector quantity and can be visualized as arrows going toward or away from charges.
The use of lines of force or electric field lines ae often used to visually depict this electric field. This Interactive allows learners to simply drag charges - either positive or negative - and observe the electric field lines formed by the configuration of charges.
