Vectors plot of electric field - vector

Question

I trying to plot vectors of electric field in scilab. But it always error :
champ: Wrong size for input arguments: Incompatible sizes.
the code:
epsilon0=1e-9/(36*%pi);
q=3e-9;
p=[-1,0,0];
x=-2:0.2:2;
y=-2:0.2:2;
[px,py]=meshgrid(x,y);
for m=1:length(x),
for n=1:length(y),
xp=px(m,n);
yp=py(m,n);
vektorr1x=xp-p(1);
vektorr1y=yp-p(3);
r1=sqrt(vektorr1x^2+vektorr1z^2);
if r1~=0 then
ar1x=vektorr1x/r1;
ar1y=vektorr1y/r1;
E1x=q*ar1x/(4*%pi*epsilon0*r1^2);
E1y=q*ar1y/(4*%pi*epsilon0*r1^2);
else
E1x=0;
E1y=0;
end,
end,
end,
pl=champ(px,py,E1x,E1y,[-2,-1,2,-1]);

Answer 1

You don't have to use loops, the following script does what you want:
epsilon0=1e-9/(36*%pi);
q=3e-9;
p=[-1,0,0];
x=-2:0.2:2;
y=-2:0.2:2;
[px,py]=ndgrid(x,y);
vektorr1x=px-p(1);
vektorr1y=py-p(3);
r1=sqrt(vektorr1x.^2+vektorr1y.^2);
ar1x=vektorr1x./r1;
ar1y=vektorr1y./r1;
E1x=q*ar1x./(4*%pi*epsilon0*r1.^2);
E1y=q*ar1y./(4*%pi*epsilon0*r1.^2);
E1x(r1==0)=0;
E1y(r1==0)=0;
clf
champ(x,y,E1x,E1y,[-2,-1,2,-1]);
To plot fields don't use meshgrid to sample the domain use ngrid instead. Moreover, don't forget to use dot-prefixed operators.
