Electric Field Simulation

A simulation that shows electric fields. May include some theory that will make the simulation more meaningful.

The idea is pretty straightforward. Further ideas can be discussed here.

Hello, I did some basic animation with p5js. https://editor.p5js.org/Aloneduckling/present/HcQ6gPIEA This shows the propagation of the electric field. Emerging from a negatively charged particle and going towards a positively charged particle far away from each other. PS. I am not very good at p5js just started using it.

I had something like this in my for this simulation: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ed/VFPt_charges_plus_minus_thumb.svg/2000px-VFPt_charges_plus_minus_thumb.svg.png

You can work on this if you like!

@Aloneduckling nice job and great that you started looking at p5! Maybe this could be extended to simulating a homogeneous force field in a capacitor where users can insert charged particles and study the forces acting on them. If you want to, we could work on this together

Speaking of capacitors, a fairly simple simulation comes to mind that may also be useful, that is the display of the electric fields between the capacitor plates, however along with the fringe effects (as opposed to the usual straight line fields due to infinitely large plate assumption) to see how well the assumption holds up for various capacitor parameters. Probably as a separate simulation but I wanted to share as it came to mind.

I was thinking the same, I guess I can do It would need some help though.

Ok! this is great. I can share the code for the animation if you want.

@Aloneduckling You can work with @justusmattern then.

[Aloneduckling]

ok

[Aloneduckling]

I will try to make charged particles too

I think Hasith on the discord server was also working on displaying vector field flows, so perhaps you guys can discuss with him as well.
