Foundations of Physics: Electricity and Magnetism

Understanding how electricity and magnetism shape our world is essential for any aspiring scientist or engineer, yet these concepts can often feel abstract and overwhelming. This course breaks down complex physical phenomena into clear, digestible written explanations, helping you build a strong intuitive foundation in classical electromagnetism. By reading through our structured lessons, you will transition from simply memorizing formulas to genuinely understanding the physical laws that govern electric charges, circuits, and magnetic fields. You will develop the analytical skills needed to solve classic physics problems and recognize these scientific principles in modern technology. What you'll learn: - Understand the fundamentals of electrostatics, including electric charges, Coulomb's law, and electric fields - Analyze direct current (DC) circuits by applying Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's rules to various configurations - Explore how electric current behaves in different media, including conductors, semiconductors, and electrolytes - Master the principles of magnetic fields, magnetic forces, and their interactions with moving charges - Apply Faraday's law and Lenz's law to solve problems involving electromagnetic induction - Examine modern applications of electromagnetism, from basic wireless energy transfer concepts to modern sensor technologies The course starts with foundational definitions of electric charge and field theory before progressing systematically through circuits, magnetism, and induction. Each concept is paired with step-by-step written problem-solving guides to reinforce your analytical reasoning and scientific literacy. Designed specifically for high school students and beginners looking for a structured, self-paced introduction to physics, this course requires no prior advanced physics background.
