This summer, I\u2019m at Arizona State University taking a modeling instruction workshop in physics \u2013 electricity and magnetism.  In dealing with electric fields (vectors and lines), potential, and equipotential lines, the curriculum materials rely on EM Field software that hasn\u2019t been updated in many years and is no longer available for purchase or download.  The program is a 16-bit windows-95 era program and won\u2019t even run anymore on Windows 7.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I set out to try to build a similar simulation with the same functionality online to make it available to other teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check it out<\/a> and leave me your feedback about what works, what doesn\u2019t work, and any suggestions for improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following student-exploration worksheet is based on Unit 1 \u2013 Worksheet 3a from the Modeling E&M materials, but I thought I would provide it here in case teachers wanted to use it.  The directions are not very refined, but it is a start. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
