If you don't see the applet in the space above, you probably need to download and install the Java Runtime Environment from Sun's web site. Move the cursor around the charge to sample the electric field. Click at any point to leave a field vector there. Use the tool palette to place additional charges, erase items, or drag charges around. The Lines option turns each charge into a uniform, infinitely long line of charge running perpendicular to the screen.

The underlying and primary question being addressed in this unit of The Physics Classroom is: How can an object be charged and what effect does that charge have upon other objects in its vicinity?
Early in Lesson 1, we investigated charge interactions - the effect of a charged object upon other objects of the same type of charge, of an opposite type of charge and of no charge whatsoever. In Lesson 3, the concept of the interaction between charges was revisited and Coulomb's law was introduced to express charge interactions in quantitative terms. In Lesson 3, electric force was described as a non-contact force. Electricity, Magnets & Circuits.
