IP simulation of conducting disc

[John Mallinckrodt <ajmallinckro@CSUPOMONA.EDU>]

The electrostatic shielding thread motivated me to build an
Interactive Physics simulation to illustrate both a) how the
charge distribution on a conductor comes into equilibrium and b)
how the surface charge density on a conducting disk increases with
radial distance.  Those of you who have IP 3.0 or later might be
interested in downloading the simulation which is available on my
IP page:

I have also included a quicktime movie for those who are
IP-challenged.
