PHYS 11800: Principles of Physics II: Electricity and Magnetism

Discover the perfect golf shot! We calculate the height of the tallest tree a golf ball must clear to achieve the longest possible hole-in-one. Explore the physics and precision of golf's ultimate achievement.

Join us for a dramatic river rescue mission! In this video, we solve the problem of how a rescue team can reach a child in danger of drowning in a fast-flowing river. We calculate the angle from the shore for their pilot to approach the child directly, considering the river's current and the boat's speed. Explore the principles of vector addition and save lives!

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.

Unlock the world of electrical circuits and light intensity! In this video, we explore a circuit with three lights connected in parallel, featuring an open switch. Discover what happens to the intensity of each light when the switch is closed. Join us for a journey through electrical concepts and enlightening explanations.

Explore Earth's dimensions in this video! We calculate its circumference, surface area, and volume. Join us to understand the scope of our planet, both in its physical size and mathematical concepts.

Dive into the world of aviation as we calculate the thrust required for a medium-sized jet to maintain a cruising speed of 230 m/s at a specific altitude. Explore the impact of air density and drag coefficients on aircraft performance.
