    This website contains all my 94 course lectures (8.01, 8.02 and 8.03) with improved resolution. They also include all my homework problem sets, my exams and the solutions. Also included are lecture notes and 143 short videos in which I discuss basic problems.
    ENJOY!

And I usually put physics into the concept and theories, because art contains physics. the color theory, the material, structure, everything is connected to physics.

    I'm only a high school student (16 years old) but in my school we don't conduct experiments in any way, shape or form, unlike you do here. That's one of the many reasons I'm watching 8.02 right now. And l find it really glorious and intuitive to watch you explain everything so explicitly and practically.
    You are a great professor. Thanks!

I am watching these with the aim of scoring full in my this year Medical entrance test 2022 (Pakistan, I am from).I have a fear of Physics in me, I want to convert it to love for physics because in order to become proficient in Human anatomy (important for medical profession) you need to be in love with Physics, Chemistry and Biology altogether. My exam is somewhere in October/November. Watching YOUR lectures along with focusing on book, will let you know at the end of my last video(your last lecture, obvio) that at what level I feel I am interms of Physics at that time.

      @abdullahalmosalami2373 5 років тому +2

      I would definitely say at this point Calculus 3 would be very useful, and he maybe skipped a couple steps when discussing Gaussian surfaces assuming you would understand what he meant by choosing what the surface should be. Also, I think the flux explanation leading into Gauss's law needed a little more to it. As for symmetry, it would be helpful once you've worked through the math to follow a textbook and do the examples and view online solutions.

    • @l.fsader6021
      @l.fsader6021 5 років тому

      don't over due the learning curve. you need to fully understand trig and algebra to understand what he means by symmetry. The radius is the same distance along the surface of the circle with radius r. because of this it does not matter where on the surface you relate the electric field to AS LONG as the charge is uniformly spread on the surface. This is because a sphere's surface is the same distance to the origin with respect to whatever radius you assign it.

    Same as two planes with same charge.

    44:57 electrons are going from the metal plate to the ground when you touch it, leaving a net positive charge on the metal plate. The important thing to note here is that the metal plate is maintaining contact with the glass when you are touching it, if you pick up the metal plate and then touch it it will lose it's charge

  • @PhysicistSouravDas
    @PhysicistSouravDas 5 років тому +3

    Sir,
    The first thing I want to know that in the last experiment, where a ball oscillates in between the plates, if, the neutral ball was held at first in between the charged plates, without touching any of them, and then allowed to move, would that remain at rest or somehow will start to oscillate? Does Earnshaw's theorem have any application here?
    The second thing, while touching the above end of Electrophorus to transfer the negative charge to the earth, were you wearing shoes? Then how do the charges move to the ground?
    I will be pleased if you answer these doubts. Respect and Love from India.

    • @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259
      @lecturesbywalterlewin.they9259  5 років тому +3

      the net charge on the conductor will be zero. charge density at the surface (both + and --) will depend on geometry. The conductor will be an equipotential everywhere - at its surface, inside the conductor and inside the cavity.
