The potential increases left to right in the above animation. Click-drag the 4 uC test charge and place it at various points inside the animation. Play the animation after you place the charge. What is the mass of the particle? You can measure the potential at any point by click-dragging the mouse. Distance is measured in meters and time in seconds. Start
The potential changes near the middle of the animation as shown by the equipotential lines. The black vector represents the particle's velocity. Click-drag to place the 1 uC test charge anywhere in the animation before you press play. You can also use the mouse to measure the potential at a point. What is the mass of the particle? Start

An equipotential plot is shown above. How much work must an external force do in order to move an electron from [x,y]=[-0.5,-1.0] to [x,y]=[1.0,1.0]. Remember that you can measure the potential at any point by click-dragging the mouse. Start
Click on an answer to display an electric field plot in the right hand panel. The arrows in the field plot represent the direction and the colors represent the magnitude of the electric field. Which field plot best corresponds to the potential plot on the left hand side. You can click-drag in the left hand display to measure the potential.

Two conducting plates are placed one above the other inside a metal box and connected to a battery as shown in the animation. The surrounding metal box is necessary for the calculation but unimportant for this discussion. The top plate can be moved by click-dragging near the center of the plate. You can measure the voltage by click-dragging away from the top plate. Which of the following statements is true? Start
