Professor Lewin, thank you so much for making these lessons available to everyone. You have inspired millions and definitely changed the way how many people see physics. As an undergrad student, I find these lessons an excellent supplement to my normal classes. You are a legend. Best regards from Portugal!
Professor Lewin is soo friendly to students, and such a godly teacher. Just listening to his lectures brings a smile on my face! Good thing I was born in this era!
It took you 10mins to make me understand electric potential. In 10 years, no one managed to explain it to me in a way I could understand. Really appreciate it.

Professor Lewin, I've been learning about vacuum tubes by reading 1940s textbooks, Spangenberg's Vacuum Tubes in particular. Your 8.02 lectures are an excellent companion for my research. Thank you for clearing explaining physics at this level, a true treasure.
He is one of the best teacher on Physics I have come across. His demonstration, practicals and the wit are unique. Not many teachers are so well clear about the subject. His website is a great asset to millions of students across the world.
Back in 2009 or 2010 (from MIT website) these videos made me get a very high score in exams and especially the experiment part of this video is the part i remember most accurate :D You are absolutely the best at teaching the concepts, I cant express how thankful I am.
Fantastic lecture, incredible. The real beauty of this kind of lecture is that, the concepts directly goes into the head of student and the most important thing it conveys is that " physics is written in text books but exists in nature " Thank you Professor Walter Lewin 🙏 Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
He is such a good teacher that I am able to follow along with some understanding that keeps building as he goes. Yet I don't know calculus and not much trigonometry. Now I am driven to learn both of those forms of mathematics in order to follow him through his equations as well and have the ability to apply them in any scenario. I wish I could go to college.
Sir I am an Arabic from Sudan and I studied in China and you can't imagine how hard it was but you with your great passion and smartness in the way you teach have given my a hand and now even after I finished and went back home I still watching your videos to learn more and enjoying my self with the beauty of understanding as you said ... it is easy to see how good person you are even without the need of knowing you and it is much easer to see how much you love what you are doing and by that you are making us love it too .. let me just say you are one of my biggest example in live and believe me I don't have much and really hope to meet you one day .. wish you the beast .. thank you sir
Physics works and makes sense when is met through Professor Walter Lewin, "my favorite lecturer". May Allah give You good health and long life! Best Wishes
This type of education should be given in every college of India... but just learning learning... memorizing all the things and no practical experience no real life analysis 😪😪😪😪 just giving importance to how broadly you have answered. Sir 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻great.
you are THE BEST PHYSICS TEACHER who could seriously make us watch through the formula and we realize physics is to love not too just pass some sort of Examination
these videos are Noticeably More Improved in RESOLUTION.... Thank you for that!!.. It's always a Pleasure watching your Lectures.. I'm 61 years old and have enjoyed Life Long Learning... but I also enjoy RElearning.... by the way.. I enjoyed your lecture that involved the students assembling a Motor from a given supply of wire and paper clips and etc.. I tried that at home!!! Lots of FUN.... Thank you Dr. Walter Lewin for a true treasure trove of Knowledge...
+Philip Y one final thought.. actually a rhetorical question... how come Electrons don't cluster together like Protons in the nucleus?.. I would have thought that Symmetry in nature would have an Electron Version of a Neutron that would allow electrons to cluster together...... I suppose Quantum Mechanics deals with that... so, I'm out of my league at that point.... (Pardon the Tangent here.. just had to say that..)
+Philip Y The electrons would then react with the protons and form neutrons. Remember that an element is defined by the total number of protons in the nucleus.
If I had to guess, the reason textbooks describe V in relation to the integral of E as V = - int E * dl is because they want to illustrate how the change in electric potential - gradV - is opposite that of the electric field. If potential is decreasing, E is positive; increasing, E is negative. It's not just confusing to try to understand it is that way, it's insufferable. It's so much more intuitive to explain potential as the field going from final point to initial point as is analogous to every singe text on calculus ever written. It's good to see that I'm not crazy for finding such an explanation infuriating.
Sir i just wanna say thanks as you r helping millions of students to get to their dreams. I m an IIT aspirant and I can Confidently say that no one can demonstrate physics in such a way u can.... Thanks a lot sir😊😊
If I was there in your class every time at the end of your lecture I was clapping and absolutely happy to give you the feeling that I get from your lectures you are an amazing person and amazing teacher Thank you very much for all!
It's unbelievable how many doubts of mine have been cleared just by watching this video. Teachers at my school don't even bother going in depth to explain the difference between easily confusable terms. This playlist is a life saver!! Also, I have something I would like to confirm. Is the reason why -ve charges go from low to high potential because their electrostatic potential energy decreases in the process? (Because things like to have as less energy as possible?)
F=qE. F and E are vectors. if q is negative the vectors are in opposite direction. Suppose negative mass existed. They would move in the opposite direction of gravity, thus they would go UP. Yes, they would go from their high to their lower potential.
@@lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259 Sir if there existed a negative mass, the force will be in the opposite direction. But force is mass times acceleration. So since mass is again negative, won't the body accelerate downward as usual?
@@athuldas9350 There is no "again," when you do F=ma with a negative mass you only have one negative in there. You're letting the logical conception leak into a nearby formula when you add an extra negative.
When negative Charge is at low potential , they acquire high energy (-qV) and when it is at high potential it acquires low energy. ( for eg -2 > -3 ) and it's in nature that objects always tend to move to lower energy for more stability. That's why a free negative Charge move from low Potential to high potential. This is one explanation. Another one is from the point of view of Force abovementioned.
Thank you Professor Lewin for your great work. Best regards from Sardinia island. I am 70 y.o. M.D. (cardiologist) retired now and i have great interest in Physics, especially in electrodynamics. Best regards.
At 31:49 the books do that, because when you go from A to B you have mathematicly correct Vb - Va. And then they put a minus sign INSTEAD of a reversed integral like it's done in the defenition of potential at 03:30 .(There you go from infinity to lets say point A, but then you integrade from A to infinity.) The books don't want to reverse the integral, because then you get confused what the direction is, so they better put a minus sign. So your equation is going from B to A (not like you sad) and the version in the books correctly going from A to B. Sorry for my english.
Always when he talks about bringing a charge in his pocket to another great charge i must think of frodo carrying the ring to mordor. Thanks fot the lectures, they are making my online semesters way more fun and better to understand!
The only teacher that i respect from my heart 💓.. Because he is the only teacher who shows us what the physics is in real sense rather to show us only theories of physics .. Respect.

Hope what I want to say uu got it 👍
The students are not at all supportive..... No claps...No appreciation. This was the most wonderful lecture ever!. Especially the theory....explained through lobby 7 experiments.👋 Thanks a lot sir!
A Big Thanks to Professor Walter Lewin who not only takes us to the invaluable and unique physics classes but also Takes time to answer our doubts in the comments section below !! Hats off to you ....... Thanks A Ton !!!
I am from India and I loved your lectures but I want to confess one thing in our country teachers are more focused towards theoritical knowledge we hardly have practicals in the live classes . Today I understood the importance of practicals thanks a lot sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It was really very difficult to study during this lock-down but finally I discovered your lectures sir which are really helpful. I believe only in text book reading and my teachers guidelines. But during this lock-down I am doing online studies and your lectures really helped me. YOU MADE ME REALIZED THAT ONLINE STUDIES ARE ALSO GOOD. THANK YOU SIR
Thank you very much sensei, I am watching your lectures and regretting my time I spent in university. Watching your lectures really are strengthening the foundation. I do have smile on my face when I have a question after you describe a theory and immediately you ask that question and start solving it. It is like telepathy.
Sir i am from India.. i watched it for the first time sir.. but i love your lecture !! and now i am preparing for my NEET , amazing sir .. Thank you sir .. for making the concept perfectly clear !!
I was so lost on what was going on in this chapter. Professor Walter Lewin made so much sense in under 50 minutes. I can now do my homework and understand what the questions are asking me. Thank you Sir.
Professor, your way of teaching is beyond reality. This topic seemed very tough to me and after the completion of this video i was like, "wow! This topic is love!"
The best lecture about Electric energy I'm preparing test for entering university in Korea. And I had a difficulty to learn concept about Electric potential Thanks for your nice lecture with good experiment!! I hope this video translate in korean and want to many students watching this video!
The demonstration you did at the ending of the video was awesome sir! The way you made current pass through the tube can we use the same principle to recharge batteries?
Syed Souban Don't expect him to reply to everyone that will be too demanding for anyone. He has a job and life to live. He already spends a great deal of time to make, edit, and post these videos.
My first lecture with you sir. It really amazed me sir, the experiments, teaching, your skill of making dotted lines and the expressions. PS-I am a JEE aspirant. thank you so much for such a wonderful lecture.
All the best from Transylvania, Romania. I LOOOOVEEE your teachings even I'm no longer a young student, but a young senoir that enjoy experimenting with my grandsons . :::)))))). Your lectures help me to explain better to the newbies of technical marvelous domains. THANK YOU!!!!
At 3:08 you said that Walter Lewis's Force is equal to Electric force in magnitude but opposite in direction. If that's the case then how you are able to move the charge ???
If I prevent the charge from moving F_net on the charge is zero. If I move the charge q from A to B (starting at A with zero speed and ending at B with zero speed) I do work W. The potential difference between A and B is W/q.
you start with speed 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 m/s
Thanks sir , because of you I fell in love with Physics. My teacher just does derivations and question answers but no insight into the topic but the way you teach physics, I fell in love with the subject.
Sir you are great really, the things which we learn in our institutes take a lot of time teaching these things they just repeat the easy things and doesnt even explain very clearly and you just covered those things in very short time by teaching with diagrams and making everything on the board it was just amazing and very easy to remember
Thank you so much for creating these amazing videos. You will help Millions and Millions of Students one day. You lectures really do make me ❤️ physics. I wish I knew who you were last time I was in Cambridge because I surely would have stopped by to say hello.
Im only a high school didnt start my higher studies yet due to the pandemic ... but these classes and the visual representation of concepts are really helping me to deal with my entrance examinations .... thank u sir ... u r a legend .... love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Professor could you please explain me the lightening of the tube? According to what I have understand, VDG creates a voltage difference b/w the ends of tube resulting in electrons flowing from lower potential to higher potential. When you touched it, voltage difference became even higher resulting in even greater flow as earth's potential is descried as 0. If I am correct up to now, I would like to know what happens when VDG is switched off suddenly. Whether electrons gathered on closer end of the tube w.r.t. VDG will flow back to Earth in a very quick time giving you a shock or anything else will happen out there.
Sir, | V=IR, V is directly proportional to i. And, I=Q/T V directly proportional to Q But,from V =W/Q V =1/Q So, V is inversely proportional to charge Q. Sir it is has some contradiction i ask my physics teacher he said time is not constant and Q gets variation.please help me in this.
IN potential due to a point charge Derivation V proportional To Q. And in capacitance Q=CV .Same as above proportionality. Sorry sir i still don't understand why V=1/Q.
It was just like riddle for me sir , no matter whether some study science or arts if the individual is interested in can learn from sir . Many many thanks to u Sirr u r great sir
as a student from India who loves concepts like friction work kinematics as a whole but got stuck in the electrostatics part as I was unable to imagine things..thanks a lot sir for your efforts just so that students like us show more interest in physics ...this is helping a lot in my jee preparation as now I'm able to imagine things....I'm able to actually think in terms of electrostatics and I cant thank you enough sir!!

I am from India and I loved your lectures but I want to confess one thing in our country teachers are more focused towards theoritical knowledge we hardly have practicals in the live classes . Today I understood the importance of practicals thanks a lot sir 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I agree
It was really very difficult to study during this lock-down but finally I discovered your lectures sir which are really helpful. I believe only in text book reading and my teachers guidelines. But during this lock-down I am doing online studies and your lectures really helped me.
YOU MADE ME REALIZED THAT ONLINE STUDIES ARE ALSO GOOD.
THANK YOU SIR
Thank you very much sensei,
I am watching your lectures and regretting my time I spent in university. Watching your lectures really are strengthening the foundation. I do have smile on my face when I have a question after you describe a theory and immediately you ask that question and start solving it. It is like telepathy.
:)
Sir Lewin you are a great teacher. You are the person who makes us to feel the beauty of physics.
Thanks for your lectures...
This professor is utterly awesome.
there is something satisfying in seeing practical demonstrations of concepts you have just learnt. The friction inside your head gets reduced.
heya...the best lecture ever...does he give lectures on ray optics??that would be really helpful.
They are down in 802 if you see clearly
Sir i am from India.. i watched it for the first time sir.. but i love your lecture !! and now i am preparing for my NEET , amazing sir .. Thank you sir .. for making the concept perfectly clear
!!
Thank you professor for making these incredible lecture available for us❤️🙏
Oh my hero. I wish you all the best wishes to you and your family. I love the nature and physics behind it by your inspirational lectures.
I wish my Professor for Physics 2 was you. Interesting and Fun lectures!
He teaches in mit.... search how to get into mit.... you will be surprised
Thanks a lot sir. I am a student of BSc physics (Hons) from India. Your lectures help me to see beyond the equations.
You are really making physics feel to us. Thankyou professor.
I was so lost on what was going on in this chapter. Professor Walter Lewin made so much sense in under 50 minutes. I can now do my homework and understand what the questions are asking me. Thank you Sir.

is that how the actual recordings were? black and white? then later converted into colour?
Professor, your way of teaching is beyond reality. This topic seemed very tough to me and after the completion of this video i was like, "wow! This topic is love!"
Glad to hear that
I just finish lect 4 and i really really really enjoy it 😎, thank you so much sir ❤️❤️❤️❤️
GREAT!
The best lecture about Electric energy
I'm preparing test for entering university in Korea.
And I had a difficulty to learn concept about Electric potential
Thanks for your nice lecture with good experiment!!
I hope this video translate in korean and want to many students watching this video!
The demonstration you did at the ending of the video was awesome sir! The way you made current pass through the tube can we use the same principle to recharge batteries?
I am waiting for your reply sir!
Syed Souban Don't expect him to reply to everyone that will be too demanding for anyone. He has a job and life to live. He already spends a great deal of time to make, edit, and post these videos.
Would be a very inefficient (also very unpractical) way to charge batteries.
@@intherift07 and he replied
My first lecture with you sir. It really amazed me sir, the experiments, teaching, your skill of making dotted lines and the expressions.
PS-I am a JEE aspirant.
thank you so much for such a wonderful lecture.
Did u crack jee?
Love u....walter....May Allah bless u nd grant u health....Blessed be....From kashmir...
Saalo bhosdi waalo Kabhi hum Indian he aisa bhi likh do
All the best from Transylvania, Romania.
I LOOOOVEEE your teachings even I'm no longer a young student, but a young senoir that enjoy experimenting with my grandsons . :::)))))).
Your lectures help me to explain better to the newbies of technical marvelous domains.
THANK YOU!!!!
You are so welcome!

I saw your body through the electricity 😂😂😂
Sir W.L u are a great teacher ....I admire u with all of my heart 💓..love from Pakistan 🇵🇰🇵🇰🇵🇰
At 3:08 you said that Walter Lewis's Force is equal to Electric force in magnitude but opposite in direction. If that's the case then how you are able to move the charge ???
If I prevent the charge from moving F_net on the charge is zero. If I move the charge q from A to B (starting at A with zero speed and ending at B with zero speed) I do work W. The potential difference between A and B is W/q.
how do you move with startinf speed as zero ?
you start with speed 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 m/s
Lectures by Walter Lewin. They will make you ♥ Physics.
you got good sense of humour too sir.... 😇😇
I am preparing for the JEE exam and watching your lectures is an enlightening experience. Thank you for making 8.01,8.02 and 8.03 available to us.
you should also do all my homework and my exams in my 3 MIT courses. ua-cam.com/video/TQR6VkYzAeY/v-deo.html
a jee aspirant life saver god bless man like this
Thanks sir , because of you I fell in love with Physics. My teacher just does derivations and question answers but no insight into the topic but the way you teach physics, I fell in love with the subject.
Keep it up
Has anyone figured out/can explain to me how he does that crazy dotted line trick with the chalk? It`s bothering me that I can`t figure it out.
+Michael Brasovan Watch these two videos!

It might be stick-slip behavior (see wikipedia). But I'm not sure.
wow awesome
Hii sir
I am from Bangladesh sir.You really have an unique way of helping seeing physics,in a whole new way and make us love the subject. We loveeeeeyou
i wish i could attain your lecture sir ...next time if u come to INDIA i will manage anyhow to attain your leacture.. 😊
I hope you live infinitely, gosh. Loving your lectures.
its my dream to have a physics teacher like you 😌😌
Sir you are great really, the things which we learn in our institutes take a lot of time teaching these things they just repeat the easy things and doesnt even explain very clearly and you just covered those things in very short time by teaching with diagrams and making everything on the board it was just amazing and very easy to remember
Thank you so much for creating these amazing videos. You will help Millions and Millions of Students one day. You lectures really do make me ❤️ physics. I wish I knew who you were last time I was in Cambridge because I surely would have stopped by to say hello.
Im only a high school didnt start my higher studies yet due to the pandemic ... but these classes and the visual representation of concepts are really helping me to deal with my entrance examinations .... thank u sir ... u r a legend .... love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Professor could you please explain me the lightening of the tube?
According to what I have understand, VDG creates a voltage difference b/w the ends of tube resulting in electrons flowing from lower potential to higher potential. When you touched it, voltage difference became even higher resulting in even greater flow as earth's potential is descried as 0.
If I am correct up to now, I would like to know what happens when VDG is switched off suddenly.
Whether electrons gathered on closer end of the tube w.r.t. VDG will flow back to Earth in a very quick time giving you a shock or anything else will happen out there.
I love this guy, he just speaks with such passion!
Sir, | V=IR,
V is directly proportional to i.
And, I=Q/T
V directly proportional to Q
But,from V =W/Q
V =1/Q
So, V is inversely proportional to charge Q.
Sir it is has some contradiction i ask my physics teacher he said time is not constant and Q gets variation.please help me in this.
question ill-defined
>>>V directly proportional to Q>>>
that's only correct for a capacitor
IN potential due to a point charge Derivation V proportional To Q. And in capacitance Q=CV .Same as above proportionality. Sorry sir i still don't understand why V=1/Q.
Va =Va - Vp =Ua - Up/q
It was just like riddle for me sir , no matter whether some study science or arts if the individual is interested in can learn from sir . Many many thanks to u Sirr u r great sir
:)
Sir I the assignment link isn't working
as a student from India who loves concepts like friction work kinematics as a whole but got stuck in the electrostatics part as I was unable to imagine things..thanks a lot sir for your efforts just so that students like us show more interest in physics ...this is helping a lot in my jee preparation as now I'm able to imagine things....I'm able to actually think in terms of electrostatics and I cant thank you enough sir!!
how it can help in jee preparation
by watching this video u can understand physics
but solve to quesiton krne he bro
its just motivating
Jee 2024 ?
