This web page contains a simulation on a particle moving between two plates of a capacitor. The user can set the particle's initial position and velocity, and then view its path. Questions on the page ask the user to determine the relationship between the path the particle takes and the force acting on it from the electric field.
This page is part of a collection of Java applets with tutorial questions developed for introductory physics courses.

Indiana University Southeast Physics Applets: Electrostatics Simulation H - Test Charge in a Capacitor
In this closely related Java physlet, a test charge is displayed in a simulated parallel plate capacitor. The charge shows a vector with the net force acting on it. Students can move the charge around to view the direction of the force relative to the electric field and the equipotential lines. relation by Caroline Hall
