Visualize charges in 3D space using geogebra 3D graphing
  • Positive Charge: enter the formula z=1/(x^2+y^2)^0.5
  • 2 Positive Charges: enter the formula z=1/((x+2)^2+y^2)^0.5+ 1/((x-2)^2+y^2)^0.5 2
  • Opposite Charges: change your formula from 2 positive charges to make one of the charges negative
