Summary

2D illustration of the link between electric field and electric potential. The grad(V) vector is computed at every point of a geometric matrix the interval values of which you can modify.

Learning objectives
  • To study the link between the electric field (vectorial value) and the electric potential (scalar value).
  • To illustrate the 2D meaning of the gradient operator.  
  • How to use the animation

    Click on the circles at lower right to select the interval to be used.

    Drag the sliders to select the charge values
