Electric Field of Two Positive Charges
This model illustrates the electric field and field lines between two identical positive point charges, demonstrating the fundamental principles of electrostatics and Coulomb's law.
The field lines shown represent the direction and relative strength of the electric field, radiating outward from each positive charge and demonstrating how like charges repel each other.
The density of the field lines indicates the strength of the electric field, which decreases with distance from each charge according to the inverse square law.
The region between the two charges shows how the electric fields from both charges interact, creating a zone of equilibrium where the net electric field is zero.
This visualization helps in understanding important concepts in electrostatics, including electric potential, electric field superposition, and the behavior of charged particles in electric fields.
