This Physlet-based simulation features four electrical charges fixed at the corners of a square. Each member of the two charged pairs is identical in sign and magnitude. The user may drag a positive test charge along the horizontal line bisecting the square to see the net electric force acting on it.
This simulation is part of a larger collection of Physlet-based illustrations and tutorials developed for introductory physics. SEE RELATED ITEMS on this page for links to three closely related Physlets that also feature four fixed electrical charges in the same configuration. Please note that this resource requires Java Applet Plug-in.
