Simulating and Visualizing the dynamic component of Electric field of an accelerating point charge
Inspired from 3blue1brown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXRTczANuIs
You can configure:
Density - Density of the points where you calculate field
Values - float, positive, bounded by computational power.
Range - The range (farthest distance along X axis) till where you calculate field
Values - float, positive, bounded by computational power.
dim - Dimensions considered.
Values - 1: Consider only X axis. 2: Consider a grid of 2d points. Rest: Consider only X and Y axes.
k - spring constant of charge motion
numparts - number of charges. Values - Odd integers.
upperlim - Upper limit of Field vector lengths.
Values - Positive float
q - strength of each charge
Values - Float
ls - speed of light.
Values - Positive float
acon - Set constant arrow size (not recommended)
Values - 0 to disable, other integers to enable
mode - Set modes of charge movement:
Values - 0: sinusoidal, 1: circular (recommended with one charge), 2: sinusoidal packet, other integer: no movement.
- Extract
- Open v0.0.5/EMSimulator_Data
- Open set.ini
- Write the values comma separated, in that order, no spaces or newlines anywhere. A default is provided.
- Launch EMSimulator.exe
Hold the left mouse button and you can look up/down. Initially it will push you a bit so look around to recenter.
W/A/S/D to move around.
If simulation is slow consider reducing load.
v0.0.3 - First github commit
v0.0.4 - Added different modes of movement, added 'acon' convar.
v0.0.5 - Corrected acceleration vector from a to aperp.
