About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models the path of a charged particle moving through a homogeneous electromagnetic field. Learners can adjust electric field components (Ex, Ey, Ez) and magnetic field components (Bx, By, Bz) to observe how particle trajectories change in real time, visualizing the combined effects of Lorentz force.

Learning objectives: Understand how electric and magnetic field components influence charged particle motion | Explore the relationship between field strength and particle trajectory curvature | Predict and verify particle paths under varying electromagnetic conditions
