Be patient while a Java applet and data files load. If things are working correctly, you will see a picture below. You can interact with this picture. To view a picture from different angles, drag the cursor over a picture while holding down the left mouse button.

In class today, I drew two examples of planar vector fields (i.e., vector fields in the plane). I also described some vector fields in space. Below are pictures of some vector fields in space that are important in physics.

Electric field due to a point charge

Magnetic field due to a current in a straight wire
