About this Simulation

This simulation models the magnetic field created by two parallel current-carrying wires. Learners can adjust current direction and magnitude, observe how magnetic field vectors combine, and explore the forces between wires. Real-time visualization shows field strength and direction at any point in space.

Learning objectives: Understand how electric current generates magnetic fields | Visualize vector addition of magnetic fields from multiple sources | Investigate the relationship between current magnitude, wire separation, and field strength
