PHYS 226: Electricity and Magnestism

Learn how to calculate total displacement when traveling west and south at different speeds and durations. Explore the direction and magnitude of your journey in this informative video.

Join us to explore the science of hand-warming through friction in this video. We calculate the temperature increase as a woman rubs her hands together, converting work into thermal energy. Dive into the physics of heat generation and discover how friction can keep you warm.

Explore the world of thermal insulation and heat loss in this video. We compare single-pane and double-pane windows, calculating the heat loss ratio. Delve into the fascinating science of heat transfer and insulation factors. Join us to uncover the secrets behind energy-efficient windows.

Learn how to determine the hot resistance and current in the electrical system of older cars with a 6.00-V voltage supply.

Explore the nuances of Newton's third law and learn how the choice of the 'system of interest' influences force pair cancellation.

In this video we tackle the real-world physics problem of calculating the spring constant for a fisherman's scale along with the amplitude and frequency of its vibrations when a fish is added. We use Hooke's Law to find the spring constant and then apply oscillation formulas to determine the amplitude and frequency of the fish's vibrations
