About this Simulation

This simulation models the motion of a charged particle in combined three-dimensional electric and magnetic fields. Learners can adjust initial velocities, field strengths, and particle charge to observe how the Lorentz force affects particle trajectories in real time, exploring the fundamental physics of electromagnetism.

Learning objectives: Understand how electric and magnetic fields exert forces on charged particles | Visualise the relationship between field vectors and particle motion in 3D space | Investigate how initial velocity and field strength influence particle paths
