technical implementer: Wolfgang Christian and Mario Belloni
This web page is an interactive physics simulation that explores magnetic fields.  The user can add currents coming into or out of a simulated grid, and see the fields created.  There is also a selection of pre-created fields, including bar magnets, loops, opposing magnets, and coils in uniform fields.  Double-clicking on any point displays the full loop created by the magnetic field.  This item is part of a larger collection of introductory physics simulations developed by the author.







This is part of a collection of similar simulation-based student activities.

Please note that this resource requires Java.

Accompanies Boston University Physics Applets: Magnetic Field Demonstration 2

This is the companion applet, "Magnetic Field Demonstration 2".  Users can create a magnetic field and place in it current carrying wires.  The simulation will display the field these wires create, and the forces they experience.
