Dipole Field Lines & Equipotentials & Superposition

written by Mats Selen

This Flash simulation allows you to field lines, and the equipotential lines due to either an electrical dipole or due to an array of two charge configurations. The user can change the value of each of the charges, the position of the charges, and the position of the test charge.

Please note that this resource requires Flash.
