Com Padre Digital Library: Open Source Physics: Three Point Charges Model
In this simulation, investigate the force between charged objects. Rank three charged objects of different magnitudes, then create a method to determine the ranking of the charge magnitudes. Finally, devise a new method of determining...
Curated OER
Coulomb's Law Box
A complete lab where a student verifies the force versus distance relationship of Coulomb's Law.
Orpheus Books
Q Files: Electricity and Magnetism: Electric Charge
Learn how electric charges work and about Coulomb's Law, which is used to calculate the strength of an electric force.
CK-12 Foundation
Ck 12: Physics Simulation: Electric Ice Sheet
Balance electric charges to prevent Tommy from slipping into icy water. You are presented with 4 particles, each with a charge value. Using the plus/minus scrollbar, you can change the value of the highlighted charge. Then press the play...

Mit: Open Course Ware: Resources: Electromagnetic Field Theory
College-level electrical engineering textbook starting from the Coulomb-Lorentz force law on a point charge. Sample problems that reinforce the content are found at the end of each chapter. Includes downloadable excerpts of the textbook...
Khan Academy
Khan Academy: Electrical Engineering: Electrostatics
Electrostatics is the study of forces between charges, as described by Coulomb's Law. We develop the concept of an electric field surrounding charges. We work through examples of the electric field near a line, and near a plane, and...

Serc: Proton Neutron Rotation and Nuclear Stability
In this activity, learners will review and investigate the stability of the nucleus of various elements and determine factors that affect that stability. Students will get an understanding of why certain nuclei are unstable and what type...

Atoms in Motion: Molecular Dynamics
These programs are classical 2-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations. Such simulations compute the motions of atoms by summing (integrating) all of the forces that the atoms exert on each other. These forces arise from changes in...
New York University
Nyu: Math Mol: Motion of Molecules
Examine the link between molecular motion and energy. Observe the movement of a molecule at room temperature. Learn about the different types of molecular motion.
Concord Consortium
The Concord Consortium: Molecular Workbench: Uniform Distribution of Charges
Observe the transfer of an electrical charge to an object and how those charges are evenly distributed across the object's surface.
Physics Classroom
The Physics Classroom: Static Electricity: Lesson 3: Inverse Square Law
Electrical force between two electrically charged objects is inversely related to the distance between the two objects. Investigate why this becomes the inverse square law of physics. Engage in the Coulomb's Law interactive and check...
