Simulation in Easy Java for the Poynting field of a circular circuit

The simulations of physical phenomena are translated into a place within the techniques used to innovate the traditional teaching of Physics. In this paper, we describe how to make an Easy Java simulation for the Poynting field around a circular circuit. Through a mathematical analysis we can find the vector field for the Poynting vector. Once obtained, we can develop a graphical way to represent a simulation for easy assimilation in university education. The advantage of creating a simulation is that the student can use the ease of calculation provided by the computer to visualize and understand the Poynting field of an electric circular circuit, without resorting to a traditional lab real experiment.
