  • Why Metals Act like Mirrors for Charges: the Method of Images the Intuitive Way. In this video, an intuitive explanation for the classical case of the method of images is introduced. Most textbooks (at least all the ones I have seen) introduce the method of images with the uniqueness theorem. However, there's a much simpler explanation--at least for this simple case--which is presented here. I remember when I first heard about image charges I was so confused because it just seemed like magic, so I think a more "hands-on" approach is quite helpful for those seeing it for the first time.
    For more detail on the method of images, see any standard E&M textbook--Griffiths and Purcell both have great sections on it.
    Chapters:
    0:00 Introduction
    0:55 Problem Introduction
    1:50 Observations
    4:43 Solution
    5:31 Conclusion
    The trick I use in this video (superposition) is one that I use a lot in my other physics olympiad videos and is pretty useful, so it's a nice idea idea to remember for those preparing for olympiads.

    This completes very nicely Purcell's mathematical approach to this problem. Yes, by the uniqueness theorem bla bla bla..., now I have a neat physical argument which is more intuitive!

    what do you mean by the fact that the path is a decreasing potential path?? why can’t it extend to infinity is what im not understanding

    u should give a comeback
    these days science and math related small started to due to rate of increase in audience related to this type of contents.
    u can get supports from viewers through patrion and merch
    whatever be it ,just give it a try.😊

    Dear Kind Sir,
    I hope this message finds you at a good time. My AP Physics C work and energy test is coming up in two days, and I am seeking private counseling. Would you please be able to give me some? I can pay you.
    In addition, can you plz teach me how to animate like this bhai - for my history class, I have to make a 3 - 4:30 minute presentation, and I would love to animate much like you do.
    Thank you sir
