About this Simulation

This simulation models electric multipole fields and explores how charged particles move through complex electric field configurations. Learners can visualize field patterns, observe dipole trajectories, and investigate how multiple charges create combined electric fields. Adjust charge positions and magnitudes to see real-time changes in field behaviour and particle motion.

Learning objectives: Understand how electric multipole configurations generate composite fields | Analyse dipole behaviour and trajectory patterns in non-uniform electric fields | Visualise the relationship between charge arrangement and resulting field geometry
