This episode is an introduction to electromagnetic induction. The presentation is supported by many experimental demonstrations.

The video covers the following topics: 1. Oersted’s discovery of the magnetic effect of an electric current (sometimes called the “motor effect” as it is the principle behind simple DC motors); 2. Faraday’s discovery of electromagnetic induction; 3. Magnetic flux; 4. Flux linkage; 5. Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction; 6. Lenz’s law (or Lenz’s rule); 7. Eddy currents and their braking effect.

Topics covered in this episode: (a) The period of a gravitational pendulum (b) Using a gravitational pendulum to determine the acceleration due to gravity, g, (c) Measuring mass using harmonic oscillators, (d) Energy in SHM, (e) Connection between SHM and uniform circular motion.

This video is an introduction to simple harmonic motion (SHM).

SHM is a type of periodic motion for which the force that drives it is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. What is the equation that describes this type of motion? The answer and more in this episode.

This first part covers the basics of SHM. The second part (a separate video, Episode #8) covers, amongst other things, some practical applications of SHM.

The video is also available on my Vimeo, Blip.tv and Youtube channels. 

What is IB Physics? Are you a student who is just about to start the course? This presentation is a 10-minute overview of the IB Physics course. 

The topic of this episode is Uniform Motion. What is an equation of motion? How does the equation of motion look like in the specific case of uniform motion? How do we use equations of motion in solving problems? The answers, with examples, in this episode. You can also watch this episode on my blip.tv page and my youtube channel.

Uniform motion, uniformly accelerated motion, uniform circular motion, simple harmonic motion - what is the difference between all these types of motion? This episode covers the most common types of motion one may come across while studying physics in high school.

If you want to describe the motion of a moving body, you have at hand three important physical quantities: speed, velocity and acceleration. How is each one of them defined? What's the difference between average and instantaneous velocity? The answers and more in this third episode.

This episode is also available at blip.tv and on my Youtube channel.

The topics covered in this second episode are: displacement, vector addition, vector subtraction, products of vectors, components of a vector.
