Description

This physlet shows three different charged particles and the electric potential lines that surround each. The electric field vectors can be seen by clicking the boxes below the applet. The three graphs below the applet represent the shape of the electric potential in 3 dimensions. By viewing the lines of electric potential as contour lines you can match the charge with the correct graph.


* Position may be found by clicking at any point on the grid.
* Electric Potential may be determined by moving the red dot.
