Electric Fields
A simple applet that allows you to place charges and then inserts electric field lines. Complex patterns with multiple charges can be generated.
Deflection of Charges
The site gives a practical demonstration of the deflection of a charge in an electric field.
Electric charge and current - a short history
A brief summary of what we thought about electric charge
Charges and Fields
A mini applet to show the forces on electrons in simple electric fields produced by point charges.
Electric Current
Definition and links to related information. Electric current is the rate of charge flow past a given point in an electric circuit, measured in coulombs/second which is named amperes.
DC Electric Power
The electric power in watts represents the rate at which energy is converted from the electrical energy of the moving charges to some other form
Electric field Demonstration
A practical demonstration of the electric field charges and the location of the electric field.
Current Law
The electric current in amperes which flows into any junction in an electric circuit is equal to the current which flows out. This can be seen to be just a statement of conservation of charge.
