written by Wolfgang Christian, Francisco Esquembre, and Anne Cox

The EJS Magnetic Bar Field Model shows the field of a bar magnet and has a movable compass that reports the magnetic field values. The bar magnet model is built by placing a group of magnetic dipoles along the bar magnet. You can modify this simulation if you have Ejs installed by right-clicking within the plot and selecting "Open Ejs Model" from the pop-up menu item.

The Magnetic Bar Field 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_em_MagneticBarField.jar file will run the program if Java is installed. 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.

Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.5 of Java (JRE).

what it the cause of this runtime error?

Source: The Open Source Physics collection

when i move the compass very quickly, sometimes it is possible to get a runtime error.
any idea how the error can be solved?
I tried to fix it but can't figure out the cause, i increase the array to nx and ny to [21] but that didn't solve the runtime error.
thanks!

can add new feature?

1. a flip magnet simulation possibility
2. better color for the rombus <> blue and red instead of the current teal and red.

can use the version here

http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1210.0;attach=1368
i added some other features too.
2 added a slider to simulate "magnetic field strength = 10 to 100 percent"
3 fixed the randomization checkbox to work now by adding to randomPositionCheck Action setLocation ()
4 fixed a bug on the markergroup and imagemagnet position not fixed to (xMagnet,yMagnet)
5 show magnetic field inside the magnet made.

for your consideration :)

1 change the image to png in an attempt to fix the appear disappear when drag from http://phet.colorado.edu/simulations/sims.php?sim=Faradays_Electromagnetic_Lab#topics didnt work though Angry
2 added a slider to simulate "magnetic flux density = 10 to 100 percent"
3 fixed the randomization checkbox to work now by adding to randomPositionCheck Action setLocation ()
4 fixed a bug on the markergroup and imagemagnet position not fixed to (xMagnet,yMagnet)
5 show magnetic field inside the magnet made
6 enable option to allow translation of languages

things i want to do but can't figure out yet.
