Course content

3 sections26 lectures3h 16m total length
  • Charge and electrostatic force9:08
  • Coulomb's law10:00

    Explore Coulomb's law for point charges and extended charged bodies, with vector forces, attraction or repulsion, superposition, and the shell theorem about zero force inside a uniformly charged shell.

  • Three situations and Coulomb's law12:08
  • Coulomb's law and charge distribution6:34
  • Coulomb's law and Newton's force5:25

    Apply Newton's second law and Coulomb's law to two positive charges, solving for m2 and q from the given accelerations and separation.

  • Force on a charge6:42
  • Electrostatic Force Equilibrium of Three Charges5:05

    Place a third charge on the x-axis to balance forces from Q1 (+1 μC) and Q2 (−3 μC) 10 cm apart, yielding a zero-net-force position 14 cm left of Q1.

  • Spherical shell4:19

    Apply integral calculus to find the total charge on a spherical shell with inner radius r1 and outer radius r2, given rho = B/R, yielding Q = 2πB(r2^2 - r1^2).

  • Charges in XY plane8:19

    On the xy plane, charge one reaches equilibrium under the forces from charges three, four, and two (Q2 = 5Q). Charge two must be about 1.92 centimetres from the origin.

  • Electrostatic & Gravitational Force between Moon & Earth5:57

    Balance electrostatic and gravitational forces between Earth and Moon with Coulomb's and Newton's laws, yielding about 5.7e13 C and hydrogen ions totaling ~3.6e32.

  • Two charged balls and gravitation6:01
  • Centripetal force on a moving charge3:41
  • Mass of a charge3:34
  • Electric force vs. gravitational force3:58
  • Transfer of charge to ground3:56

    Examine how contact and grounding move charge among bodies, from cat fur rubbing to earth. Observe how sparks reveal electron flow between finger and faucet.

How I make my courses:

When I create content for lessons in physics, I think deeply around the areas where students struggle and feel confused. My lessons tackle these parts in depth. Also, I believe visual representation of various ideas in physics makes a lot of impact. The lessons have visuals and animations that are thought through for faster learning and absorption of the subject

And most importantly, I make myself available to answer questions of students enrolled in my course


My students (some are wonderful teachers too) wrote this to me

Bobbie Smith:                           Amazing explanations, I really learned a lot. Thank you.

Satyam Jha:                              amazing!! i could not understand vector physics in my class but here it is very easy to understand Thanks!!

Csaba (teacher):                       I learned new ideas. I'm looking to try them in my professional practice as a physics teacher. Thanks! :)

Fernando  P. Radaza:              It help me a lot to understand better about physics of Work, Power & Energy.

Chamara Dilshan:                    it's good, explaining every small thing ,it's good to start physics beginners

Onofrio :                                    The lessons given by the teacher are very interesting! Excellent course!

Simaran:                                    Very deep understanding of the subject

Shiva:                                          Very knowledgeable and sounds very nice and helpful

Gallina:                                       Excellent the lessons held by the teacher with exhaustive explanations and well illustrated. Well done course!

Smith:                                         Great course.The presentation is very clear. Thank you.

Pawan Kumar:                           The way to teaching us is amazing with all diagrams

Samit                                          This course has a lot of good content and very well presented. Thank you

Dani (teacher):                          It was concise and consequent. The exercises were good exposed and explained. Simply excellent. I promise,     that i will use some ideas in my every day practice in my classroom. I'm also teaching physics, but in Hungarian. I finished this course to improve my skills, first of all in interesting approaches, and foreign language skills as well. This course was exactly what I expected!
