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: 2D, 3D space, 3D topographic mapping, 2D colour-coded mapping, coloured linear integral convolution. Option to display on-screen electric field vectors indicating individual charge contributions and net electric field for any location. Numeric display indicates strength of electric field and electric potential at any location. Option to display the path of a charged particle as it moves under the influence of the electric field. Select the charged particle's mass, charge and velocity.  Highly accurate calculations - potential determined by true mathematical integration (not inaccurate numerical calculation of integrals). 

Designed for both high school and college physics courses.  System Requirements: Windows 95/98/NT/2000/Me/XP, 486 or Pentium class processor, 16MB RAM.
