Introduction

Summary

Principle of superposition: The total electric field at a point is the vector sum of the fields at this point due to each point charge. One can make the lines of force appear with a simple mouse click.

Goals

• To show the vector addition at any point in the plane containing the two point charges.
• To make the lines of force visible.

Features
