About this Simulation

This simulation models the electromagnetic field patterns created by moving electric charges. Learners can adjust charge velocity, observation range, and field resolution to explore how acceleration generates electromagnetic waves that propagate outward. The 3D visualization reveals the relationship between charge motion and wave formation in real-time.

Learning objectives: Understand how accelerating charges produce electromagnetic radiation | Visualise the structure of electric and magnetic fields around moving charges | Investigate how velocity and observation parameters affect wave characteristics
