Electric Field Mapping PhET


  • Students will be able to identify and describe factors that affect direction and size of electric field.
  • Students will be able to quantitatively describe the relationship between electric field strength and distance from the source charge.
  • Students will be able to quantitatively describe the relationship between charge strength and electric field strength.
  • Students will be exposed to and asked to analyze electric field line diagrams.
  • Students will explore and find patterns for the electric field strength in areas with multiple separate source charges.
  • Students will examine the electric field between two oppositely charged plates.
