Electrostatics with Point Charges

---

A positive charge, Q, is located at the bottom center of the Netlogo World. This charge is creating an Electric Field in the space around it. Another electric charge, q, is shown near the center of the world positioned in this Electric Field. The green Force vector at the top shows the force on the charge, q, due to the field and the yellow field vector at the bottom shows the direction and magnitude of the electric field where the charge in the field, q, is located.
