About this Simulation

This simulation models the magnetic field generated by two current-carrying wires. Students can adjust current directions and magnitudes, observe field line patterns, and explore how magnetic fields from two sources combine through superposition. The interactive visualization displays field vectors and magnitude variations across the simulation space.

Learning objectives: Understand how current-carrying wires produce magnetic fields | Analyze field superposition when two magnetic sources interact | Predict field patterns based on current direction and magnitude
