This Exploriments app on Electrostatics lets you explore the nature of electrostatic interaction between charged particles. This app uses interesting techniques to convey abstract concepts with the help of imaginary devices such as Forcemeter and Charge Chamber. These devices help visualize and understand Coulomb’s Law and the interaction between charged particles.

The Exploriments Series of interactive simulation-based tools makes conceptual learning in science an engaging and insightful experience. Visit www.exploriments.com to know more.
