PHYS 226: Electricity and Magnestism

Step into the showroom as we explore the intriguing connection between rug dimensions and area. Learn whether a rug being twice as long as another implies its area is also doubled. Join us for a comprehensive explanation of this geometric concept.

Explore the physics of a car's quick deceleration, including angular acceleration, revolutions, time, distance, initial velocity, and the realism of the scenario.

Explore the dynamics of a bead under constant force. Understand its acceleration, velocity over time, and how to calculate its kinetic energy. Witness the interplay of motion equations and real-world applications in a simple system.

Explore the concept of capacitance and learn how to calculate potential difference, the impact of separation, and the work required for a parallel-plate air capacitor.

Join us as we delve into the physics of a monkey and her cart, complete with a spring. Witness the intriguing change in maximum speed when the monkey picks up a cantaloupe. Learn how mass and vibrations affect the outcome.

Unpack the concept of normal force on a sports car and its driver atop a hill. Utilize Newton's second law to calculate these forces based on speed and hill curvature. Discover the speed at which the driver feels weightless in the car.
