Charges and Fields

This virtual manipulative will allow the students to understand that the electric field is the region where the force on one charge is caused by the presence of another charge. The students will recognize the equipotential lines that exist between the charged regions.
Some of the sample learning goals can be:

Determine the variables that affect how charged bodies interact.
Predict how charged bodies will interact.
Describe the strength and direction of the electric field around a charged body.
