Electrostatics 3D CD-ROM

Electrostatics 3D is an interactive software program that allows students to study electrostatics in a visually spectacular fashion! Electrostatics 3D utilizes colourful three-dimensional graphics to display electric potential and electric field lines for various types of charged objects. The stunning imagery brings a deeper understanding to electrostatics that has never before been achieved by other software visualization methods. In addition to displaying charges, electric field lines and equipotential surfaces in 3D space; three-dimensional topographical mapping is also utilized providing an easy to interpret highly-informative perspective.

All the various types of three-dimensional graphics can be rotated in space about multiple axes for a true 3D perspective!. The user is provided with a wide variety of simple-to-use tools that permit any desired charge configuration to be created on-screen. Simply click the desired object from the toolbar, input the chosen parameters, and position the object on-screen. The user has the option to work in a 2D environment or 3D environment. View 2D & 3D electric field lines and equipotential surfaces.

Choose from a variety of charged objects that may be used in any combination including: point charges, linear charges, plane charges with limited or unlimited length, grounded or isolated conductive spheres, conductive planes and di-electric boundaries.

View options include:

• View electric field lines and equipotential surfaces in a 2D and 3D environment.
• Choose from a variety of charged objects that may be used in any combination including: point charges, linear charges, plane charges with limited or unlimited length, grounded or isolated conductive spheres, conductive planes and di-electric boundaries.
