[00:01] simulations for how the electric field responds to a moving charge it was all for a longer video on YouTube that covers the fundamentals of what light is you some of the pretty animations that came out of it the full electric field [00:15] is threedimensional it Associates each point in space with a little Vector telling you what force would be applied to a unit charge if it were sitting at that point in Space the 3D fields are fun to look at but they are a bit busy [00:28] so often it's easier to just show a slice of that field say on the XY plane underlying law used to make these simulations it's not actually Maxwell's equations which are the fundamental laws [00:41] instead I'm coding in another intermediate law something that you can which is a little easier to wrap your mind around both for the sake of making the animations and also for the sake of the student trying to understand what's [00:55] [Music] on
