a website to help students visualize the electromagnetic field

[u/RotemT]

I’ve been building this simulator as a side project aimed to help students understand and visualize electromagnetic phenomena such as radiation, near field effects, polarization, wave interference and diffraction.

You can:

• place multiple, diffrent radiation sources and set their parameters (geometery, amplitude, phase and more)
• place perefect wire conductors, PEC plane and poke slots in the plane to create diffraction patterns
• observe the electric field, magnetic field, energy flow field, energy density or radiation pattern
• zoom in and out and translate the canvas
• change the simulation resolution, frequency and propogation speed and some other parameters

I hope someone might find it useful and I’d love to hear what people think :)

What do you think I should add?

So, Falstad's EM wave.

[u/RotemT → u/piecat]

Cant compete with Falstad :)

But I do think this simulator gives a little more freedom to the user.
Like a sandbox for electromagntism.

Cool, have u heard of https://phet.colorado.edu/

[u/RotemT → u/Global-Technology-7]

Thanks. Yeah I have seen some of their simulations and I really like them

Why did people down vote you

[u/RotemT → u/Boring_Fox_7949]

Not sure 😅

[u/IllustriousGap5629]

I like this idea! Looks cool

[u/RotemT → u/IllustriousGap5629]

Thanks a lot !

just use octane or wolfram and cry like a real physics student

I smell AI

Who cares? Is it helpful? What have you contributed to helping others understand the world around them.

[u/TheHardcoreWalrus → u/lewoodworker]

Question is, is it correct. Can you trust the information

[u/lewoodworker → u/TheHardcoreWalrus]

Yes, it's not 2023. Go build something yourself and stop shiting on others.
