Second computer exercise for 222.

Magnetic Field Applets

This exercise uses a set of Java Applets to help you visualize magnetic fields and electric charges interacting with them by representing them as vectors and lines on the screen. Unfortunately at the present time they only work on the PC version of Internet Explorer 4.0 and higher. . If you want to view them on a Macintosh computer download the Sun HotJava browser 3.0.

Please follow the directions and answer the questions as you go along. Your report should consist of answers to each of the questions and a series of sketches of the field lines. Go to the exercises.
