Physics Calculations in Excel: Magnetic Fields, Force, EMI, and AC

Analyzing electromagnetic phenomena doesn't require expensive specialized software. By leveraging the computational power of Excel, you can build clear, interactive models of magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction, and alternating current circuits. This text-based course guides you through translating core physics principles into robust spreadsheet calculations. You will start by mastering the fundamental formulas of magnetism and translating them into structured Excel tables. From there, you will learn to calculate magnetic force on moving charges, simulate electromagnetic induction (EMI) using Faraday's and Lenz's laws, and model alternating current (AC) circuits. Along the way, you will adopt modern Excel practices like dynamic arrays and clean formula structures to make your physics models flexible and easy to update. What you'll learn: - Calculate magnetic fields and forces using standard Excel formulas and cell referencing - Model electromagnetic induction (EMI) and self-inductance dynamically - Analyze alternating current (AC) circuits, calculating impedance, resonance, and power factors - Apply modern Excel features like dynamic arrays to handle multi-point physics simulations - Build structured calculators that solve complex physics equations step-by-step - Format and organize scientific data in Excel for clear interpretation and analysis This course is structured to build your skills from the ground up, starting with foundational physics definitions and basic spreadsheet setup before moving into advanced circuit modeling. You will read clear explanations, study structured formula examples, and practice building your own physics models. This course is designed for physics students, engineering aspirants, and spreadsheet enthusiasts who want to apply computational tools to scientific problems. No advanced Excel experience is required, and a basic understanding of introductory physics is helpful but not mandatory.
