Indiana University Southeast Physics Applets: Electrostatics Simulation H - Test Charge in a Capacitor

written by Kyle Forinash

This web page contains a simulation on lines of charge, as in a parallel plate capacitor. The electric field lines and equipotential lines are displayed, and the user can move a test charge and observe the magnitude and direction of the force acting on it.

This page is part of a collection of Java applets with tutorial questions.

Indiana University Southeast Physics Applets: Electrostatics Simulation H - Test Charge in a Capacitor:

Covers the Same Topic As Indiana University Southeast Physics Applets: Electrostatics Simulation I - Moving Particle in a Capacitor

This closely related Java physlet by the same author simulates a moving particle in a capacitor whose initial position and velocity can be controlled by the user. It was designed to promote understanding of the relationship between the path the particle takes and the force acting on it from the electric field.
