EField Physlet to DataGraph Connection

Initialize

This page contains two Physlets, EField and DataGraph.  The moving test charge in EField is a SDataSource that supplies the following variables to a SDataListener, the DataGraph in this case.

• t : time
• x: x position
• y: y position
• vx: velocity component
• vy: velocity component
• ax: acceleration component
• ay: acceleration component
• fx: electric and magnetic forces component
• fy: electric and magnetic forces component
• p: potential

The DataGraph is a SDataListener.  A DataGraph can display data supplied by a data source using a data connection. A data connection can be established between a data source and a listener using the following script:

document.EField.makeDataConnection(sourceID,listenerID,1,"t","u");
