<p>SUBJECT: <i>Scattering of Charges of Opposite Sign</i></p>
<p>DESCRIPTION: An animation of the motion of a negative charge moving past a massive positive charge. The negative charge is deflected toward the positive charge because of the attraction between them. This attraction is primarily due to a tension transmitted by the electric fields surrounding the charges. </p>
