SECTION : Electrostatics      

  
SUBJECT: Scattering of Charges of Opposite Sign  
 
DESCRIPTION:

An animation of the motion of a negative charge moving past a massive positive charge. The negative charge is deflected toward the positive charge because of the attraction between them. This attraction is primarily due to a tension transmitted by the electric fields surrounding the charges.
