The speed of the dots do in some way represent the strength of the field. | |

Fieldstrength | Potential |
The color shows the magnitude of the field around the charges. Note the points between charges of the same sign where the field is zero. | The color shows the potential around the charges. = 0 < 0 > 0 |
The same images as above, but with higher contrast - so that it's easier to see the change of fieldstrength/potential between the charges. |
