Diseño de un modelo de interfaz gráfica como recurso educativo para el estudio de campos vectoriales en electromagnetismo: caso específico campos electrostáticos

Abstract

The visualization of vector fields, represents a tool of great relevance in many scientific disciplines to obtain a clearer and accurate idea of the behavior of a system. The techniques used in the projection of vector fields are of vital importance in areas such as electromagnetism, however, understanding their mathematical representation and physical meanings leads to a certain level of complexity, therefore it is appropriate to use the graphic tools that allow to explain and visualize electrostatic phenomena. Particularly, this work implements a graphical interface model for the visualization of electrostatic fields using ROOT (Data Analysis Infrastructure developed by CERN), numerically solving the Laplace equation through the finite difference method in rectangular coordinates.
