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
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?"
