Extensive explanatory text included. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=234543 This web page contains a series of animations and simulations related to Electrostatics. Topics include the fields and potentials of charge distributions and the interactions between charges and between charges and fields. It is part of the MIT TEAL project and includes simulations on topics in E&M, course notes, and a multimedia Guided Tour of the topic.The materials from a full semester course using these simulations is available from the MIT Open Courseware Server (see the Mirror URL). http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=89470 This applet shows the field of a moving charge, and how it is concentrated directions perpendicular to the motion. It also shows how information only propogates at the speed of light, and shows how the accelerating charge emits radiation by the compression of electric field lines, which produces an electromagnetic wave. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=89397 Tutorial and applet that illustrates how electromagnetism can be used to separate seeds from foreign objects. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=89187 A shockwave tutorial on basic static electricity written at the middle school level. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=89464 An applet that provides visual representations of the electric field and potential field of a charge distribution defined by the user. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=83846 Set of java applets for illustrating classical physics (highschool level), including gravitation, electric and magnetic fields, mechanical and electrical oscillatiors, diffraction and interferences. The user can use a large number of simulators (solar system, electrical circuits, oscilloscope, optical setups, etc.) in order to perform numerical experiments and check the validity of different laws of physics. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=89399 Applet and tutorial on Coulomb's Law. Includes discussion of the electroscope. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=89870 User can fix point charges of varying charge and be queried on the strength of the electrical field and potential at various points.
