/courses/vrml/electromagnetism/

These pages are some of my attempts to visualize the vector fields (actually differential forms) of electromagnetism. These images are inspired by the works of the authors in my references.

i have updated these links

These visualizations require a VRML-enabled browser. more VRML browsers Get CosmoPlayer! (install instructions) or WorldView or Blaxxun or Cortona or my new favorite: GLView (Mac: Zaptech BeOS: Breeze Linux et al... build your own: OVAL. With help from Sun's Java3D xj3d ) Try this new Shout3D version of my Electric Dipole.
