Coulomb's Law and Electric Field Package
written by
Anne Cox, Wolfgang Christian, and Francisco Esquembre
The EJS Coulomb's Law and Electric Field Package is a collection of models for electrostatics. Users can move charges around and see the force, observe the electric field generated by charge configurations, and observe the motion of test particles in electric fields. Also included are student worksheets in pdf format to supplement each simulation. Users can inspect and modify any simulation in the package by right-clicking within the plot and selecting "Open Ejs Model" from the pop-up menu item.
The Coulomb's Law and Electric Field Package was created using the Easy Java Simulations (Ejs) modeling tool. It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive. Double clicking the ejs_electric_sampler.jar file will launch the package if Java is installed. Navigate within the package and click on a green triangle to run a particular simulation. Ejs is a part of the Open Source Physics Project and is designed to make it easier to access, modify, and generate computer models. Additional Ejs models are available. They can be found by searching ComPADRE for Open Source Physics, OSP, or Ejs.
