Wolfgang Christian and Anne Cox
The Point Charge Electric Field JavaScript model shows the electric field from one or more point charges. The simulation displays the electric field using color-coded unit vectors together with a draggable an test charge and its force vector. The field magnitude is shown in a yellow message box near the bottom of the view as the test charge is dragged.
The Coulomb's Law and Electric Field JavaScript model was developed using version 5 of the Easy Java Simulations (EJS 5) modeling tool. Although EJS is a Java program, EJS 5 creates stand-alone JavaScript programs that run in almost any browser.

Source Code Documents
This source code zip archive contains an XML representation of the Point Charge Electric Field JS Model. Unzip this archive in your Ejs workspace to compile and run this model using EJS 5. Although EJS is a Java program, EJS 5 creates a stand alone JavaScript program from this source code.
