Electrostatic Charging: Induction and Conduction
Visualize electrostatic charging phenomena without direct contact.
About This Simulation
Explore both charging by induction and charging by contact using charged rods and metallic balls with toggleable charge indicators. The invisible becomes visible — watch charge separation happen in real time as the rod approaches the ball.
