Detail Page

written by Kyle Forinash
This web page contains a simulation of a dipole. The user can set the initial position of a test charge, and observe the path it takes.  Questions ask the user why about how the particle's path relate to the electric field vectors.

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