Electrostatic Potential and Field 2D Visualizer

Produce electric potential and field plots by editing charges, the domain, and more, including by nearly real-time interactivity.

A program to visualize the resultant electric potentials and or fields emanating from point charge(s) that the user can interactively create and edit. The amount of charges, the locations of the charge(s), and the magnitude of the charges can all be adjusted, along with more options. One can place charges via use of a button, 'Place Charge', and hovering over and clicking on the domain, move existing charges by clicking and dragging on them, and adjust a point charge's magnitude with a slider. Such interactions can produce updates on the interactive axes not only after the process is completed, but during the processes mentioned. One can choose between viewing the resultant electric fields, approximate voltage contours, or both, and create figures bearing such information about the electric field and approximate voltage contours. Made with help/guidance from Dr. Atef Elsherbeni of Colorado School of Mines, and the research work for this app was funded by Dr. Atef Elsherbeni/Colorado School of Mines and the Colorado School of Mines MURF Stipend.
