This web page is an interactive physics simulation on magnetic fields and forces. The user can create a magnetic field and place in it current carrying wires. The simulation will display the field these wires create, and the forces they experience. Double-clicking the mouse at any point on the field will produce a field line passing through that point. This item is part of a larger collection of introductory physics simulations developed by the author.
This is part of a collection of similar simulation-based student activities. Please note that this resource requires Java.
