PHYS 1260: General Physics

Discover electromagnetic induction with a rotating wire loop! In this video, we explore how a 12.0-cm-diameter wire loop generates an induced emf when it's aligned with a magnetic field in 0.20 seconds. Dive into the world of electromagnetic phenomena and uncover the average induced emf.

Delve into Newton's third law of motion and explore how the choice of the 'system of interest' influences whether force pairs cancel each other out.

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.

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

Discover the gravitational forces at play in a triangle of masses in this video. We calculate the net force on each mass and explore how changing the side length impacts these forces. Join us for a gravitational journey through physics.
