Class 12 Physics simulations · Electric Charges and Fields

Electric field of two charges

Change the charges and separation to explore how the field and force respond.

Open the simulation

What to notice

Field arrows point away from positive charges and toward negative charges.

Key relation

F = k|q₁q₂| / r²

Try this

Reverse one charge. Watch the field between them.

What you can change

• Charge 1: -5 to 5 µC
• Charge 2: -5 to 5 µC
• Separation: 2 to 8 dm
