This simulation demonstrates Gauss's Law by allowing users to use a Riemann sum approach to calculate electric flux through a cubic Gaussian surface.

ADD & MOVE CHARGES:
Add positive (+1 nC) or negative (-1 nC) point charges, then drag them to see the electric field update in real-time.

NAVIGATE THE SCENE:
• Right-click + drag to rotate
• Scroll wheel to zoom

COLLECT DATA:
Enable "Show surface tiles" to begin data collection. Click individual tiles to record the angle, E-field magnitude, and area for each surface element. Analyze the data in your spreadsheet to verify Gauss's Law.
