LTU Physlet: Like and Unlike Charges

The Nucleus » Detail Page

Website Detail Page

written by Scott Schneider

This simple applet shows five movable charges and the Coulomb force vectors on each. The user is asked to determine the relative sign and the relative sizes of each of the charges.

This is part of a large collection of Physlet-based (Physics Java Applet) illustrations and tutorials covering introductory physics.
