Electromagnetism Experiment Simulation Based on Game Engine

Abstract

Electromagnetism is an experiment-oriented course which plays an important role in middle school physics. However, traditional electromagnetism experiments have many shortcomings. Simulation based on game engine has attracted many educators and teachers to explore its application in the educational field. This paper designs electromagnetism experiment simulation based on the Unity3D game engine, which implements three electromagnetism experiments: static charge, electrostatic induction and earth’s magnetic field. Furthermore, this paper constructs a electromagnetism experiment simulation software library, which can be reused to other electromagnetism simulation experiment system.
