Electric Potential in a Non-uniform Electric Field

The applet on Page 2 simulates the electric potential at a given point in a non-uniform electric field (the field due to a point source) and displays the electric field line and line of constant potential through the given point. It also simulates the potential energy of a charged particle in the field and illustrates energy conservation during the particle's motion.

Details on how to use the applet are available under Applet Help on the applet's Help menu.
