Can't stop loving --ElectroStatics Simulator

Post by xXxMoNkEyMaNxXx »

Here's a program I made to show you what the electric fields look like around charged particles. I made this because my physics teacher kept complaining about how poorly the PhET simulation was made. I thought that I could make it, and here it is. All the controls are in the program.

Not much accuracy:

But still it's funny to play with it.

It looks very nice, and is quite useful! But I agree - maybe you should try to make it a little more accurate...
Maybe make an approximation first and then iterate with more precision?

Simply decrease dt and increase iterations.
Note: It will lag.
