Heading: The Electric Field
This program calculates the electric field resulting from a distribution of several point charges.
You can draw the equipotential or the electric field line through a point. To do so, click on the point with the Select button.
The Menu allows you to choose to draw equipotentials or electric field lines.
Charges can be moved around by dragging with Adjust (the right button). Charges can be selected or removed by choosing a Menu option.
Charges can be added from the Menu, and the value of the new charge can be typed in.
The charges can be point charges or parallel line charges directed into the screen. You can choose which type by using the system option in the menu.
