Are 3D Molecule Animations Valuable for Studying Elements and Compounds?

AI Thread Summary
3D molecule animations, particularly those upgraded at webreader.net, provide interactive visualizations of elements like helium, oxygen, and various forms of boron, carbon, and nitrogen. These simulations incorporate gravity effects from celestial bodies and utilize the Bohr model for atomic charge representations. Users can manipulate molecules through the PDB database, enhancing the learning experience. The platform offers a free trial with no installation needed, encouraging user feedback on its educational value. Overall, these animations are positioned as valuable tools for studying elements and compounds in a more engaging format.

Simulations include gravity form the space station to the Earth moon system. Charge simulations using the Bohr model of atoms and access to PDB (protein data base) molecule manipulation.

Looking to see if these are of value in this format, hope I'm in the right place,

Animations program upgrade

The animations program at http://www.webreader.net/animations.htm has been upgraded to allow 3d viewing of helium through oxygen molecules.

Several forms of boron, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen are modeled,

Try for free, no installation required, comments appreciated.
 
This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...
Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'
Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
