Field Lines of Two Movable Charges

Drag the charges, flip polarity, and adjust magnitude to see how field lines superpose and bend.

Charge Controls

Tip: field lines start on positive charges and end on negative ones; as charges approach, the lines bend and redistribute.

Test Charge Motion (Launched from Point M)

A single charge with initial velocity moves under the force of a constant field; velocity, force, and trajectory are shown in real time.
