Run this experiment →Change signs to switch attraction and repulsion. Increase separation to see the force decrease with the square of distance. Positive force here means repulsion.
Run this experiment →Point-charge vectors add component by component. A uniformly charged ring is the continuous limit: transverse components cancel on its axis. Select both sources to compare.
Run this experiment →A positive test charge defines field direction. Positive sources have outward radial fields; negative sources have inward fields. The graph records that signed radial direction.
Run this experiment →Compare axial and equatorial fields and rotate a dipole in a uniform external field. The field falls as r⁻³ in the far-field approximation.
Run this experiment →Tilt an open surface to change its projected area. Closed-surface flux instead depends on net enclosed charge; external charges contribute zero net closed flux.
Run this experiment →Switch the charge geometry. A wire gives a 1/r field, an ideal sheet gives a distance-independent field, and a shell gives zero interior field.
