The Physics Classroom	Animatation covering introductory electrostic principles
Definition of the electric field
Lightning	How lightning works from "How Stuff Works."
Electric Field	The Electric field from "How Stuff Works."
Inteactive e-field experiment	From PhysicsLessons.com
Insulators and Conductors Charge Theft or Loss Triboelectric Effect Electrostatics Charge Animations the Electric Force Field Animation V=Ed Lightning	Many of these require the ShockWave plug-in available from Macromedia
See Electric Fields Interactive	One of the better interactive e-field simulations. (Uses JavaScript. This means that some web browsers may not run the simulation properly.)
See Electric Fields	This interactive page uses ShockWave plug-in available from Macromedia. It is one of my favorute interactive activities. When doing this activity, ask yourself, "Do these electric force field lines follow the 3 rules for drawing them?"
