Magnetism 3D

Similar to Electrostatics 3D, Magnetism 3D is an interactive software program that allows students to study magnetic fields using a variety of stunning visualization methods. Magnetism 3D utilizes colorful two-dimensional and three-dimensional graphics to display the magnetic field for current-carrying straight wires, current-carrying wire loops, solenoids, and permanent magnets. The three-dimensional graphics can be rotated in space about multiple axes for a true 3D perspective! The user is provided with a wide variety of simple to use tools that permit any desired configuration comprised of any number of objects to be created on-screen. Simply click the desired object from the toolbar, input the chosen parameters, and position the object on-screen. Software Features: View 2D & 3D magnetic field lines. Choose from a variety of magnetic field generating objects that may be used in any combination including: current-carrying straight wires, current-carrying wire loops, solenoids (with or without an iron core), and permanent magnets. All objects can be customized by inputting values such as current, length, radius, loops per centimeter . . . View options include: 3D space, 3D topographic mapping, 2D surface, 2D color-coded mapping & linear integral convolution, and 2D iron filings. Option to display on-screen magnetic field vectors indicating individual contributions from various objects and net magnetic field for any location. Numeric display indicates strength of magnetic field at any location. Option to display the path of a charged particle as it moves under the influence of the magnetic field. Select the charged particle's mass, charge and velocity. Capability to explore Ampere’s law by drawing a closed path with the amount of current passing through the enclosed surface automatically calculated. Designed for both high school and college physics courses.			Current-carrying wire loops arranged in a circle and the resulting magnetic field lines shown in three-dimensions. Any number of magnetic field lines can be drawn. All 3D graphics can be rotated about multiple axes to generate a real-world perspective.
			Three-dimensional display of magnetic field surrounding a cylindrical permanent magnet. Zoom-in to study the field in the vicinity around the object, or zoom-out to investigate the field at great distances.
			Two-dimensional display of magnetic field produced by a solenoid. Continuous magnetic field lines (linear integral convolution) are shown with color coding indicating field strength.
			Magnetic field shown for two straight wires with oppositely directed and unequal currents.
Two-dimensional display of magnetic field lines produced by two solenoids. Magnetic field vectors can be displayed at any desired location.			Two-dimensional display of magnetic field produced by two permanent magnets. Continuous magnetic field lines (linear integral convolution) are shown. Numeric display indicates strength of magnetic field at any chosen location.
New in Version 2.0: * Strength of magnetic field displayed for any location within 3D environment. * Option to use a right-handed or left-handed coordinate system in 3D environment.
