Electromagnetic Radiation Program

 

electrodynamics.RadiationApp which shows a positively charged particle's electric field vectors and magnetic field lines calculated from the Lienard-Wiechert potentials. The trajectory of the particle (f[x]=x(t),f[y]=y(t)) can be set, where c = 1.
You can change the following parameters in the OSP Control window:

f[x]: sets the trajectory in the x direction.

f[y]: sets the trajectory in the y direction.

size: sets the number of pixels in the E and B panels.

dt: sets the time step.

E scale min: sets the minimum value of the electric field vectors shown.

E scale max: sets the maximum value of the electric field vectors shown.

B scale min: sets the minimum value of the magnetic field lines shown.

B scale max: sets the maximum value of the magnetic field lines shown.
