🧲 Debye Screening (2D)

2D Canvas simulation of Debye screening: watch a charge's electric field get exponentially screened by mobile ions in a plasma. Adjust ion density, temperature and charge to see the Debye length and screened-Coulomb potential change live.

⚙ Under the hood

A 2D Canvas simulation of Debye screening in a plasma: watch how mobile ions form a cloud around a central charge and exponentially screen its electric field beyond the Debye length. Adjust ion density, temperature and charge to see the screened-Coulomb potential and Debye length change live, and compare it against the unscreened Coulomb field.
