Electricity & Magnetism
What is Electricity & Magnetism?
Electricity and magnetism are two of the most important forces in the universe. They are responsible for the way our universe works. They are also the basis for our technology.
Electricity is the force that powers our lights, our computers, and our homes. Magnetism is the force that makes our refrigerators work, our cars move, and our TVs and radios transmit signals.
The study of electricity and magnetism is a fascinating look at how our universe works. It can help us better understand the world around us and the technology that we use every day.

PHYS102: Introduction to Electromagnetism
We have direct daily experience with two of these forces: gravity and electromagnetism. Consider, for example, the everyday sight of a person sitting on a chair. The force holding the person on the chair is gravitational, and that gravitational force...
Electrostatics
Electrostatics is the study of forces between charges, as described by Coulomb's Law. We develop the concept of an electric field surrounding charges. We work through examples of the electric field near a line, and near a plane, and develop for...
