Magnetism 3D utilizes colorful two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphics to display the magnetic field for current-carrying straight wires, current-carrying wire loops, solenoids, and permanent magnets. The 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 configuration comprised of any number of objects to be created on-screen. Simply click the desired object from the toolbar, input the chosen parameters, and position the object on-screen.
Software Features: View 2D & 3D magnetic field lines. Choose from a variety of magnetic field generating objects that may be used in any combination including: current-carrying straight wires, current-carrying wire loops, solenoids (with or without an iron core), and permanent magnets. All objects can be customized by inputting values such as current, length, radius, loops per centimeter. View options include: 3D space, 3D topographic mapping, 2D surface, 2D color-coded mapping & linear integral convolution, and 2D iron filings. Option to display on-screen magnetic field vectors indicating individual contributions from various objects and net magnetic field for any location. Numeric display indicates strength of magnetic field at any location. Option to display the path of a charged particle as it moves under the influence of the magnetic field. Select the charged particle's mass, charge and velocity. Capability to explore Ampere’s law by drawing a closed path with the amount of current passing through the enclosed surface automatically calculated. 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.
