NOTE:
You must be connected to the Internet the first time you view this simulation, at which point the codebase for all the simulations will be downloaded to your computer. This process make take a few minutes, as the codebase is roughly 9MB in size. Subsequent viewings of the applets will run from your local copy.

DESCRIPTION:
This java simulation illustrates the field pattern
created by two point charges with opposite signs of
charge. In this simulation, the position and charge
of each particle can be modified in real time, and the
field configuration will update itself accordingly.
All three field visualization techniques can be applied
to show the overall electric field of the two-charge
configuration: vector field, field lines, and "grass
seeds".
