Here, you can play a game that helps you understand how electric charges behave.

You'll see a game board with a charge gun, a target, and some obstacles. Your goal is to get the charges from the gun into the target.

The charges shot from the gun are all positive charges. We call them test charges.

To alter the path of the positive test charge, you can place positive and negative charges on the board. These will repel and attract the test charge as it travels.

There are 10 levels to play. Each has a different arrangement of gun, target, and obstacles.
