Method Detail

Efield

public Vec3 Efield(Vec3 x,
                   Vec3 E)

inverse distance squared field

Specified by:

Efield in class BaseObject

Parameters:

x - the position of the observer

E - the electric field at the position of the observer

Returns:

E the electric field at the position of the observer

Bfield

public Vec3 Bfield(Vec3 x,
                   Vec3 B)

the magnetic field (zero)

Specified by:

Bfield in class BaseObject

Parameters:

B - the magnetic field at the observer's position if the charge is at p (calculated)

Returns:

zero for a stationary charge

println

private static void println(java.lang.String s)

A local way to print a string

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

writes properties of the HelioField to a string
