Mobile App Allows You to Explore the Effects of Electric Forces

Looking for an entertaining way to bring light to the world of electricity? Electrons, a charged particle simulator for iPad, is an app that allows you to create dozens of positively or negatively charged particles, either contained within conducting bodies or roaming free in space.

Experiment Like Never Before

The perfect tool for students and teachers of physics and electrical engineering, or anyone interested in the laws of nature, this app lets you observe complex particle interactions and resulting electric forces. You can create capacitors, stimulate lightning rods, and gain a deeper understanding of electricity by following the included guided tour of 10 different experiments, including redistribution of charge and neutralizing an electric field.

 Buzzing with information, this app includes an 11-page guide explaining the basics of electric forces and Coulomb's law. By following the guide, you can get acquainted with the basics of attractive and repulsive forces, simulate an electrostatic shock, simulate a lightning rod and observe how it attracts lightning, create a capacitor and observe its homogenous electric field, learn how to create a do-it-yourself electric field probe, and discover much more through many electrifying studies and experiments.  

Electrons is packed with information.

Shockingly Simple

There's a lot you can explore with this app, but using it is pretty straight forward. To create charged particles, simply tap or draw a vector of initial velocity on your screen with your finger, and drag your finger to draw conducting bodies. You can toggle force display, grid display, and change the speed of simulation or zoom force vectors. If you'd like a fresh start with your particles, easily reset the entire scene with the push of a button.

Electrons is compatible with iPad and requires iOS 3.2 or later. Download it now at the App Store.
