Foundations of Electrostatics, Electricity, and Magnetism

Understanding the fundamental forces of electricity and magnetism is essential for anyone pursuing physics, engineering, or technology. This text-based course guides you step-by-step through the core principles that govern charges, currents, and fields. You will transition from basic concepts of electric charge to analyzing complex alternating current circuits. By studying the written explanations and working through practical calculation examples, you will develop the problem-solving intuition needed for academic exams and real-world engineering concepts. What you'll learn: Understand the foundational laws of electrostatics, including Coulomb's law and electric field calculations; Analyze how capacitors store energy and behave in different circuit configurations; Calculate current, resistance, and voltage in direct current (DC) circuits using Kirchhoff's laws; Explore magnetic fields, forces on moving charges, and the principles of electromagnetic induction; Examine alternating current (AC) circuits, resonance, and modern power transmission concepts; Apply electromagnetic principles to modern technologies like wireless charging and sensors. The course begins with the absolute basics of electric charges and electrostatic forces before moving systematically through electric potential, capacitance, steady currents, and magnetic fields. You will then progress to electromagnetic induction and alternating currents, building your knowledge sequentially through clear written explanations and solved problems. This course is designed for high school physics students, engineering aspirants, and self-directed learners looking for a clear, step-by-step introduction to electromagnetism with no advanced prerequisites required.
