      @@jacobvandijk6525 Yes. It usually is. For example it's not impossible to derive e = mc² quickly & mathematically in YT videos. However, 95% of teachers are not able to do it. They simply do not have the skill that DrPhysicsA has. The ones that try don't get many views because their videos are confusing & unsuccessful.
      Great teachers are like gems
      I found some other things that have gem-like properties:
      1) A book: Engineering Mathematics by Stroud - very gentle & clear with many questions & problems to work through
      2) Supermemo software uses flashcards to make it almost impossible to forget the stuff we learn
      3) Meditation on compassion & loving-heartedness.

    At school, we were given a copy of George Gamows Biography of Physics to read.
    I was bowled over by the story of James Maxwell showing mathematically that radio waves are emitted by an oscillating charge and that he had calculated the velocity of these waves and it was the same as the velocity of light.
    I think it was this that enthused me to do a degree in Physics, along with Special Relativity.
    Unfortunately, my maths wasn't up to the task, so I changed to a Mechanical Engineering degree, but I have always regarded Maxwells equations with awe.
    I now understand them, at seventy-seven years of age.
    Got there eventually.

    Thanks for drawing this to my attention. You are quite right. I had intended to say that the dot product was the product of two vectors.

I have made a small annotation on the video to make this clear. Thanks again.

    18.50.I think that the second law holds because the flux going from south to north inside the bar magnet balances out the flux emerging from the N pole and then going out of the closed surface. The closed surface is just a mental construction and may be considered closed even when a bar magnet goes through it. A great teacher.

    re: magnet partly inside the sphere (18:23): Even then the equations still hold. The magnetic flux outside of the magnet goes from the north pole to the south pole. Inside the magnet the flux always goes (back) from the south pole to the north pole. If the magnet is placed such that only the north pole is inside the sphere the amount of flux exiting and entering the sphere is still equal: the same amount of flux going from the north pole, out of the sphere to the south pole is going inside the magnet from the south pole, entering the sphere to the north pole.

    Thanks. As the title explains, this is only supposed to be a very basic derivation.

If they want the detail and the rigour of the derivation they can then go to more advanced sources.

  • @StephenRayner
    @StephenRayner 10 років тому +17

    19:00 I agree with Pablo P, the magnetic field lines travel through the bar magnet. So although they don't spread out like they would at the edge of the south pole, there is just as many magnetic field lines passing through the midpoint of the magnet as there are field lines exiting the norht point.
    Not suggesting Dr Physics is wrong, just that there are different ways to look at this and I hope it helps others to consider this from different angles.

It is exactly as you described: if you already have a grasp on these topics, than this video will help you prepare for a test as well as fill in any possible gaps in your understanding. The definition of flux at 22:22 is missing the integral symbol; or you could just suppose the flux is phi = B*A (not B*dA) and you still get the correct form of the Emf. Again, thank you so much for posting this. Your videos are fantastic.

    The key is that the plate has to be infinite for the situation you describe. So at any point in space the E field is the vectorial sum of the fields from all the charges on an infinite plate.
