lecture title

    Electric and Magnetic Forces and Fields: Coulomb, Ampere, and Faraday

lecture goals

  • Learn about two more 1/r² forces, electricity and magnetism.
  • Learn who Coulomb, Ampere, and Faraday were.
  • Learn that electricity comes from charges at rest.
  • Learn that magnetism comes from moving electric charges, called electric currents.
  • Learn what a dipole is.
  • Define fields as lines of force, learn the rules for field lines, and see demonstrations of electric and magnetic dipole fields.
  • Learn the difference between action at a distance as a way to transmit forces, and causal forces.

outline of lecture

What matters science unto men
