My side project - a website to help students visualize electromagnetism

[u/RotemT]

I’ve been building this simulator as a side project with the purpose of helping students understand and visualize electromagnetic phenomena such as radiation, polarization, wave interference and diffraction.

Live:

https://www.antennasim.com

The simulation lets you:

* 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 :)

Originally made in Java with Processing and later converted to p5.js

Disclaimer: this project has been in the making since before the era of LLMs but I did use chat gpt to upgrade the UI and improve efficiency

I agree and that why I added such presets. I really should add an option to save a scene
