Charge Distribution of 2 objects

[lookang]

An insulated uncharged metal object M is brought near but not touching and insulated positively charged metal sphere S.
Which of the following diagrams best illustrates the final distribution of charges on S   and on M?


I thought this is an applet not made yet on this forum.

for your consideration

[Fu-Kwun Hwang]

Please check out JaCoB.
Click Electricity at the right frame, then click Two cylinders.
May be it is what you want. There are a lots of possibility with JaCoB.
The following is a demo. You can also check out Image charge: point cgarge and a sphere

http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/swf/jacob.swf

The following is a JaCoB applet.　Move your mouse inside and right click for menu to generate objects, charges ...etc.

Check out attached image!

Download jacob.zip and open Jacob.htm with your browser.

Simply awesome!

Thanks!, JaCoB applet is the best for this purpose for students to try to figure out themselves.

I managed to follow your video to get the same effect setup as in the question.

I have to make a video about this when time permits. It is super powerful

The embedded applet appears to be of a different character system? i see squares for the english words

[lookang]

Another thing to note is after clicking the examples, the files are not found, perhaps need to upload the html files?

and the embedded applet in the post above show squares

[Fu-Kwun Hwang]

It seems that you were viewing the cached html page.
The URL has been changed to EVogal.html
You might need to reload the page.

English should be the default code for applet. I will check out what might cause the problem.

The file was link to a Chines version jar. I changed the above tag to iframe. It should display english version now.

i am interested create a download-able jacob applet for education purpose, it is possible to zip it as an attachment?

thanks!

btw it seems http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/ntnujava/index.php have the only working copy of jacob in the free internet space.
http://webphysics.davidson.edu/applets/jacob/intro.html is not working properly.

[Fu-Kwun Hwang]

Jacob was developed by Vojko (a good friend of mine who pass away several years ago) and other co-workers. Vojko was also a member of CoLoS group.

The Jacob web page is located at http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/demolab/CoLoS/JaCob/
You will find that Jacob need jacob.jar  (from the source of the html page)
So you should be able to download it from http://www.phy.ntnu.edu.tw/demolab/CoLoS/JaCob/jacob.jar

All the jacob are controled by javascript. You can copy it from the html page.
 

[lookang]

i saved the html from internet explorer 8
i download jacob.jar too.

but it had some errors

i followed the error message and download extra files

lang.data
property.data

into the data folder

but it still not working.

i zip it for u to test?
think still missing some files?

[Fu-Kwun Hwang]

I just added ui.data under data subdirectory and it work for my firefox.
I also found scriptmanual.pdf (it is attached,too)

Complete zip file has been upload at the second post.

[lookang]

In memory of Vojko Valencic, i have created the zip file to be shared as the way he licensed it.
