Field Graphs for A Level Physics

Visualise electric and gravitational field graphs with an interactive tool.

What this tool shows

  • How electric and gravitational field strength vary with distance
  • Inverse-square relationships visually
  • Comparing uniform and radial fields
  • Potential graphs for point charges and masses

OCR A relevance

  • Module 5: Gravitational fields
  • Module 6: Electric fields
  • Inverse-square law

Try these tasks

  • Compare the shape of E against r and V against r graphs.
  • Change the charge or mass and observe the scaling.
  • Identify where the field is strongest and weakest from the graph.
