Conceptual Electronics Videos

I just found a series of videos that animate various physics concepts. The first one I found was on the concept of impedance:

But this was #15 in a series of 24 videos. I just finished watching the first few and they basically managed to start from scratch and work their way up to Electro-Magnetism. Pretty cool! One thing they could have improved is the labelling:

  • Red particles are positive charges
  • Blue particles are negative charges
  • Purple arrows are electric fields
  • Green arrows are magnetic fields.

Also, this first video can seem overwhelming, with all these fields creating each other, but there's really only four rules:

Name Math Description
Gauss' Law $\vec{\nabla} \cdot \vec{E} = \frac{\rho}{\varepsilon_0}$ An electric charge (right) creates an electric field that points away from the charge and “disperses” to infinity (left)
Gauss' Law of Magnetism $\vec{\nabla} \cdot \vec{B} = 0 A magnetic field (left) can not “disperse” to infinity the way an electric field can. In other words: they are no “magnetic charges” the way there are electric charges
Faraday's Law of Induction $\vec{\nabla} \times \vec{E} = \frac{\del \vec{B}}{\del t}
