Electric Fields & Potential
by Anonymous
Change electric field lines by varying the sign and size of charges, and see how Coulomb force and potential change with distance.
About this app
Electric Field and Potential is an interactive physics learning app for exploring how charge affects electric fields, Coulomb force, and electric potential. Adjust the charge sign, charge amount, charge combinations, and distance to observe field-line direction and density, attraction or repulsion, inverse-square force, inverse-distance potential, and equipotential surfaces. Mission-based activities guide learners through comparisons and simple target-setting challenges.
Use cases
- High school students studying electric fields and potential
- Physics teachers demonstrating charge interactions in class
- Learners practicing Coulomb’s law and electric potential relationships
- Science educators creating interactive classroom experiments
