This student activity uses a Java applet to show the electric
field due to a point charge. The strength of the field can be
measured at any coordinate in the x-y plane. The user is asked
to calculate the magnitude of the charge, plot the strength of
the field as a function of the radial distance from the charge,
and compare this to Coulomb's Law This is part of a larger
collection of applet-based learning activities. %0 Electronic
