Laboratory Guidelines Disappears during active firing sequence
  • 1. Configure parameters for the particle (charge, speed, mass) and the electric field intensity/direction.
  • 2. Click Fire to launch the beam along the exact center horizontal axis into the uniform electric plate section.
  • 3. Alter your variables and fire again to build a layered history of distinct parabolic paths for comparative analysis.
