The Ejs Three Current-Carrying Wires model is a ranking task exercise involving the ranking of the current magnitudes in three parallel current-carrying wires. The simulation displays the net force on each wire due to the other two wires. You can modify this simulation if you install Ejs then right-click within the plot and select "Open Ejs Model" from the pop-up menu.
Ejs Three Current-Carrying Wires model 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_bu_three_wires.jar file will run the program if Java is installed. Ejs is a part of the Open Source Physics Project. Additional Ejs models for physics can be found by searching ComPADRE for Open Source Physics, OSP, or Ejs.
Please note that this resource requires
at least version 1.5 of Java (JRE).
