• applet: charged particle moving in electric field and magnetic field: http://www.phys.hawaii.edu/~teb/java/ntnujava/emField/emField.html
  • siince we have not covered magnetic fields yet, you may want to set the box labelled "B" at the top of the picture to zero.

    • on fast computers you may need to slow the intial velocity down from the default. I also like to have the trails on rather than off.
