I think your lecture is wonderful. I understood this as a child (I am now 72) as I was coached by my uncle, a chemist at ORNL, but have found few people that can comprehend or care about such things. But we love what we love. I would like to just randomly add that heating the concrete you mentioned around 1:15:00 is something I did a few years ago with a carbon arc. I think it was arcing at about 36V @ 70A. It ended up being a bad idea as apparently the water vapor in the concrete caused the hot-spot to explode (after becoming red hot) and blow very hot pieces of concrete all around and into my face. I was not injured seriously but it taught me a lesson that extreme temperatures (or anything else) can do unexpected things. Lastly, even after all these years, I still enjoy a good presentation like you posted here. I know it has been seven years since you posted but please keep up the good work and enjoy life. I know it would be subjective but it would be interesting to plot real-time ageing years with perceived ageing years as we grow older.
GENIUS! Someday ALL university physics "conversations, lectures, and problem solving" will be taught this way! Learning Glass technology, mirror image of Dr. Anderson "facing" his students, and his enthusiasm, explanations, texts, and illustrations projected normally -- all this makes learning personal, inviting, clear, and mutually fun for BOTH sides of the Glass! LOL for Dr. Anderson's "reverse-image-corrected" right hand rule explanation at 1:22:27 in which he has to use his actual left hand (with wedding ring) to project the image of his right!! This is a game changer for higher learning (like Dick Fosbury's "then-new-approach" to high jumping in 1964)!!!
Arden, Wow, thanks for this, it really made my day. And also made me feel a bit old for knowing about the Fosbury Flop! Thanks for the comment, and keep up with the physics! You can also converse with me and my team at my new website: www.universityphysics.education Cheers, Dr. A
Arden, I have a favor to ask. We would like to use your quote in some promotional material. Would that be okay? Email me at info@universityphysics.education Cheers, Dr. A
@@yoprofmatt You should describe the technology you're using for this in the video description. Its a clever use of physics. It'll also get the word out.
@@yoprofmatt Dick broke high school records in 1964-1965, set collegiate records in 1966-1967, and won Olympic gold in 1968 with a new Olympic record. By 1972, the straddle technique was obsolete, and the Fosbury Flop was THE new standard for almost all high jumpers! Best anti-aging agent? Innovation through new ways of teaching, new ways of learning, new ways of understanding of course! The "nota bene" that curiosity and persistence can sometimes turn out to be challenging AND fun is a bonus whether jumping over a bar or learning physics!
Brilliant! The teacher and teaching style. Engineering and science students of today are so fortunate to have access to such material and great teachers like Prof. Anderson! Keep strong, Sir!!
Dr. Anderson, the tools for teaching this make learning so much easier to understand, compared to physics taught in the 80's. So appreciate the cadence of your teaching. Just awesome! Your students are blessed to have you as an instructor. Thank you.
You Sir are an amazing teacher. If all my teaches, instructors and professors were like you school would have been a whole lot easier. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent teaching! It is easier to follow the idea when the professor writes his flow of thought on the blackboard. The "front" blackboard is so innovative.
well i searched for this video and i was lookin for something to change my perception that how mechanical transverse waves transfer energy and how em waves transer energy and after viewing this whole video it was no less than an enchanting lesson that no worldy thing can match. thanks and more power to you prof.
I am a little over an hour into this video and I have learned more than I thought I ever would regarding Electromagnetic waves. Thank you for this amazing class!
Apparently, I'm not the only one who fell asleep on CZcams and woke up to this. It's an amazing video to wake up to tbh. CZcams algorithm doing it right!! I went on to get my Master's degree in Information and Digital Communication, but I have always had a passion for physics. This goes right in the feels! Thank you for this amazing course!
You saved me from getting in trouble, I accidentally fell asleep with my computer on watching memes, and it ended up going onto this video, the downside is that now my dad is purchasing physics books and stuff like that.
His demonstration of current going up and down in waves as it changes polarity, causing magnetic waves to be generated at right angles to that (perpendicular to the electric charge) is brilliant. Some professors have the ability to take a simple principle and make it incomprehensible; it's much rarer for a professor to communicate principles so that everyone can understand them.
17 minutes in and your teaching methods for these phenomena are a real treat. Seriously to anyone who is just starting their journey in science hang on to every word of this video. It will bring a level of clarity to so many concepts that I as well as many of my peers have just shrugged their shoulders and just figured out the math and never thought of the deep mechanics of it all. I’m 25 and this video just unified such a huge part of my education in a way I can’t even describe.
Layne Rollheiser, That is music to my ears. Thanks for the comment, and keep up with the physics! You might also like my new website: www.universityphysics.education Cheers, Dr. A
Light bulb moment! When you get it... Almost EVERYTHING is simplified. I had mine about 30 yrs ago watching a show called "Connections" With James something on the Discovery channel, back when you actually learned something. Then later in college it was solidified with two factors, Atmosphere, and Frequency. Michio Kaku , (spelled wrong I'm sure) is another great teacher that lead to my own👉 "light bulb moment" 👈
Wow, Dr. Anderson is a great teacher. He makes physics so clear and understandable. What a gift he is to teaching and science. When I first started watching this video, I thought, OMG an academic is about to make the difficult to understand even more difficult and I just may be wasting my time. Was I wrong! What a surprising blessing, for sure.
I agree. I've had professors who try to dumb down material WAY too much and I've also had professors on the other side of the spectrum who make things so difficult to understand. I'm glad Professor Anderson has achieved that healthy teaching medium.
Is the Earth gravitationally attracted to the position of the Sun, ~8 minutes ago? If yes, bye bye coherent solar system. If no, C is not a speed limit and something must be communicating instantaneously. Or I need more information. Thanks.
When you gave the example of the Sun for visible light, I thought that maybe it would have been good to add that the Sun isn't limited to visible light. Thanks.
Can waves propagate through no medium? Have you contemplated the existence of a medium in "free space"? Could a test, better than P&W, be devised to double check with more rigor? When you shield an antenna from the microwaves coming from the Earth's oceans, according to data from the Herouni Antennae, you do not measure any Cosmic Microwavve Background. Why don't we try that and why didn't we think about doing that before? Also, when light slows down through a medium, such as glass, how does it speed back up to C after it passes through the glass? Doesn't C actually fluctuate, except that it's tied to the meter, making the meter fluctuate? Thanks!
Not only is this amazing in terms of content and easy comprehension (only 30 minutes in), but can we all just admire that he is writing backward on a transparent board. I’m sure some may find that common, but to explain it so well without skipping a beat and everything being so legible. Major kudos. I will now be subscribing.
Thank you Prof. Anderson, this is an amazing video - I'm doing a subject as part of my masters and the amount of information I have to research is enormous. It's all about wireless communication and EM waves. Thanks to your video I finally got the basics of it. Keep up the amazing work.
I wondered, what are the odds of being able to write backwards, AND write backwards well, AND write backwards well...left handed. At this point I realised that it's far more likely that you're using a video camera to invert the image. Then I realized how cute it was that you demonstrated the Right Hand Rule using your left hand. lol
I write with my left hand and I can read and write backwards fairly well so I didn't even think about this at all until I saw your comment... I can also write with my right hand though and write mirror images simultaneously with both hands that look similar. I cannot however, write different things with both hands at the same time.
@@gustavofoss2280 I've been pretty busy lately so it took me a little while to get around to doing this. I hope this counts. I also hope CZcams lets me attach a link like this because this is the first time I've tried to link a video. czcams.com/video/8p9ovhYgACY/video.html
I completed my schooling 40 years ago. But this is first time that I really understood the concept. Thank you very much for the great way of teaching 😊
1 hr in and I just realized that you're writing everything backwards from right to left.. The amount of practice this must have taken is a dedication to teaching that should be commended. Thank you!
I remember learning about EMF when I was a kid (early 70's) - via the ARRL it is a Ham radio thing - it changed my life and started my life being devoted to science
i honor your name Matt Anderson for the quality of your lesson(s) and your contributions to Physics! Thank You Father, all the glory and praise be to You! Your creation is amazing!
Thank you for that. Well put!! My previous experimentations with the "B" field , about 2 years ago began quite simply after reviewing the Coral Castle installations I realized that after seeing that his generator was built to maximize the "B" field by using "V" magnets I wanted to see what effects the "B" field had on ordinary rocks . So I went to my front yard and picked up a stone and weighed it , 38 Grams, then I was carful only tap it with the "B" field of a magnet , It dropped in weight to 22 grams. I believe the key is to find the correct frequency to vibrate the "B field and it should float.. No wonder magnetic rocks were called "load stones
I watch educational youtube videos because I cannot tolerate all the commercials on TV. I have been looking at DC motors and magnetism and running across this class was fortuitous. The professor is excellent ! Really.
this is really interesting yet I can't help getting sleepy with this, I'm starting to use this as ASMR for sleeping and returning back the next day to where I remember lol
💀 I just left school a few hours ago and this is the first thing I choose to watch 😭and I finished it I can't even focus when school when we have free time
i literally subscribed to this channel in my sleep this is crazy not only am i waking up to this (no complaints from me this is amazing to watch from time to time) but i’m also going around subscribing to random channels i end up actually liking
No kidding. Clear and writes/draws so well (backwards for him) and he's a lefty too. Ya gotta wonder if he's chimed into what's coming . .the EMPCOE catastrophe. Lights out 3 days, INSANE ELECTRO MAGNETIC PLASMA CHANGE OVER EVENT STORMS, HELL WEEK. He knows the true workings of our flat earth plane
Your videos are amazing, I stumbled onto you when learning most people incorrectly understand how electricity “works”, I’m definitely a fan, but this video ends abruptly.
No, the length is good. The prof at my university always tried to cover a whole chapter in 20 mins video. So I always read the book and went to your vids when I was confused about the concepts. Great that I had been having high A's in the past exams, now just one more final to go and I am gonna rewatch a few of your vids. Thank you again, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
@@yoprofmatt Excellent lecture Matt, I'll have to watch the others you've done. Presuppose this, if you were living in a closed system & the Sun was within that system how would this effect what you have transcribed..... ?
Prof Matt.Please,can I get your video lecture on how to Deduce the Electromagnetic wave equation for magnetic field strength using the uniform plane wave components.
He is a gifted teacher. He expresses difficult concepts with such an ease and eloquence. Very few prof are of such a high calibre. I wish he was my physics teacher when I was in grad school.
I've been sleeping in a hypnogogic state while listening to these lectures in my dreams. It's amazing how much I'm learning while my dreams listen in and put me in a cool classroom and different experiments with what he is explaining. It was like watching my own show on discovery channel.
I wish I could have had a teacher like you, when I was in school! All physics I have learned, I have teached my self after I reached 30 years old. That's mainly because bad teachers. Thanks for this video!
_" That's mainly because bad teachers. "_ yeah I tried Open University & it just wasn't that great an explanation so i gave up. Before that I tried a book called Engineering Mathematics by Stroud. It was awesome & so easy even degree level stuff. Another great teacher on CZcams is DrPhysicsA
Marek'L Whip, Sounds like a nightmare. Hope I didn't scare you. Thanks for the comment, and keep up with the physics! You might also like my new website: www.universityphysics.education Cheers, Dr. A
I had this recommended to me and watched it willingly, because I like the format and it seemed interesting. It is and I'm happy with it...I did fall asleep about 90min in.
If only had I had him as a professor, I would have found physics much more palletable. Great course, demostration and explanations with visual. Clear drawings, enunciation and clean delivery without bouncing all over the place. Fun video to watch, I actually learned something new.
Ahhhhh i keep wiping my screen where his missing bits! other than that a great vid, nothing better than neo himself explaining parts of the matrix, Thank you MR ANDERSON.
thank you for making physics seem so simple. I was taught physics some 30 yrs ago where the teaching aids were just a simple chalk and a board.. usually black, and of course half the time you're just looking at the teacher's back.. and if she was a beautiful curvaceous teacher, young testosterone filled young minds like mine was back then, your never really paid much attention to the board .. really.. so thank you for your beautiful explanation and your smart learning glass style teaching..
Professor Matt Anderson is AMAZING!!! So easy to follow compared to other physicists I’ve met.Keep up the great work Professor. Electro Magnetism has never been so well explained in my experience.
This seems a simpler than the heat-light-sound physics I had in college. It's still fun and informative. I am nearing retirement age and I keep toying with the idea of going back to school for a PhD in astronomy (which would mean an in-depth review of physics and algebra and trig and calculus and diff-EQ, etc etc etc). It's big commitment but it's not as if I would be in any hurry.
I was cleaning up round the house while listening and I saw the light refracting trough the glass door forming a rainbow and I realised I was seeing a Fourier transform right in-front of my eyes, it’s funny because I already understood and knew about these concepts individually but hearing it put like this together has blown my mind how all of these things are the same thing.
I did also fall asleep and woke up to this, but you have such a nice voice and this is really interesting with how you explain and visualize everything
This is awesome! I'm so glad I found your channel. I really love physics, but unfortunately HS doesn't offer anywhere near as much detail as I like. I plan to major in software engineering for practical reasons in getting a job. However, I plan to try to get a master's in physics when I'm older, after making enough of a living beforehand.
I love this. The way he explains and teaches these concepts and theories. Has made it very easy to understand and digest and also how to understand the way these examples works in the real world.
My current favorite lecturer is Robert Sapolsky _ an altogether different subject but somewhat similar delivery. A relatively thorough grasp of the subject in times, when the rapid changes and developments and occasional paradigm shifts in all fields of science make it all the more difficult to keep abreast of the changes taking place in any given discipline. A constant focus upon the audience; which transforms an otherwise dry prose into a narrative or even on occasion into a kind of conversation that inevitably infects the attentive listener. The charismatic Feynman was undoubtedly very gifted at this; he probably infected almost everyone in his classes with love for the subject he so loved to talk about. It all is unfortunately not to acquired or trained. In certain way it is also perhaps person dependent. Nevertheless, I assume training can also help. Intonation, regular breathing, voice, the quality of sound, the command of language and correct pronunciation and especially the well paced delivery; where you pause at the right moment for right amount of time for the neural networks to prepare for a new inputs and equally important the inclusion of a short summary of the proceeding subtopic at the end. I wonder if you also do some kind of Meditation or Yoga; just curious? And last but not least a fully well planned out structure that seems to give the illusion of a perfect transition from a subtopic to another subtopic; so that the listener is almost unaware of the effort that the lecturer may have made to make it possible. It seems almost natural, effortless and so obvious. But I assume it is anything but that. It hides the work involved in such easy paced flowing lectures; which assume are also the result of many experiences that contribute toward such clarity of structure and presentation. I am sure your lectures will inspire and help aspiring students and spread this increasingly important subject for mankind and its global citizens. Not only is it important for understanding the real world outside but will become more and more important in the world that we are creating and superimposing on the one that created us _ our inescapable new reality; which may not necessarily be the same as our ancestors perceived it and this world has a lot _ for good or bad _ to do with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Even more important for mankind; these subjects also help in understanding human behavior _ which involve elector-chemical signals, hormonal chemistry and energy transfers. Such knowledge; even when it may not turn out to be the basis or the ultimate essence of reality, will no doubt remain an essential tool for all future investigations about the world and cosmos we live in; besides of course getting some lucky ones big social acclaims like Prestigious Prizes, or Fame or Money and for great many a fulfilling profession and for people like me; a truly effortless insight into the nature of the physical world; that I live in and interact with daily. Thank you!
Really thanks a lot, an amazing class, I´d like you to activate the subtitles in this video to help people who speak in other languages, I can help with Spanish. Greetings from Chile.
Such a simple and flawless explanation with every minute detail. Loved it. Thank you, ♥sir Anderson...your lecture makes us curious to know everything in detail.
Thank you for the great lectures on the electromagnetic wave. l particularly enjoyed the section on the antenna. Any recommendations on books for this subject?
Regarding the diagram at the beginning of the lecture: wouldn't the magnitude of the electric field at the midpoint get larger as the two oppositely charged point-masses move closer to one another? My reasoning is based on the 1/r in the electric field formula and superposition. As the charges move towards each other, the r term gets smaller. (edit): I was assuming that the E-field being plotted was that at the midpoint of the point-masses. Is that correct?
E filed of a single charge would get larger as we get closer to what is the midpoint of two oppositely charged point charges, if there were a single charge. But we have two charges. When the two charges overlap, are at the same point, the net charge is 0. So Dr Anderson is right since, no (zero) charge produces zero field. If you think of a point charge as a very small sphere of uniformly distributed charge, even then l, by Guass's law, the field produced at the center would be zero. As we approach the center, the distance from the center varies linearly. The 1 over r quare term in the field varies as 1 over r square but the enclosed charge varies is 1 over r cube. So the field falls linearly as r.
Very true! In fact, I too was thinking about that. He's right when he's saying that those oscillating charges produce oscillating electric field but not because of the reason he's saying. It is because of the acceleration of particles themselves. In SHM, the particle's acceleration is proportional to the displacement from the mean position. This implies that acceleration is zero at the mean position and highest at the extremes. Now, since the electric field is directly proportional to this acceleration, we see the electric field also following this "displacement analogy". The farther the particles, the higher is the acceleration and the higher is the electric field and vice versa. Hope this clears your confusion.

GENIUS! Someday ALL university physics "conversations, lectures, and problem solving" will be taught this way! Learning Glass technology, mirror image of Dr. Anderson "facing" his students, and his enthusiasm, explanations, texts, and illustrations projected normally -- all this makes learning personal, inviting, clear, and mutually fun for BOTH sides of the Glass! LOL for Dr. Anderson's "reverse-image-corrected" right hand rule explanation at 1:22:27 in which he has to use his actual left hand (with wedding ring) to project the image of his right!! This is a game changer for higher learning (like Dick Fosbury's "then-new-approach" to high jumping in 1964)!!!
Arden,
Wow, thanks for this, it really made my day. And also made me feel a bit old for knowing about the Fosbury Flop!
Thanks for the comment, and keep up with the physics!

Arden,
I have a favor to ask. We would like to use your quote in some promotional material. Would that be okay? Email me at info@universityphysics.education

@@yoprofmatt You should describe the technology you're using for this in the video description. Its a clever use of physics. It'll also get the word out.
@@yoprofmatt Dick broke high school records in 1964-1965, set collegiate records in 1966-1967, and won Olympic gold in 1968 with a new Olympic record. By 1972, the straddle technique was obsolete, and the Fosbury Flop was THE new standard for almost all high jumpers! Best anti-aging agent? Innovation through new ways of teaching, new ways of learning, new ways of understanding of course! The "nota bene" that curiosity and persistence can sometimes turn out to be challenging AND fun is a bonus whether jumping over a bar or learning physics!
Yeah awesome comment.
Brilliant! The teacher and teaching style. Engineering and science students of today are so fortunate to have access to such material and great teachers like Prof. Anderson! Keep strong, Sir!!
Dr. Anderson, the tools for teaching this make learning so much easier to understand, compared to physics taught in the 80's. So appreciate the cadence of your teaching. Just awesome! Your students are blessed to have you as an instructor. Thank you.
You Sir are an amazing teacher. If all my teaches, instructors and professors were like you school would have been a whole lot easier. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent teaching! It is easier to follow the idea when the professor writes his flow of thought on the blackboard. The "front" blackboard is so innovative.
I woke up to this 3 times in the past few months. I’m just gonna watch it now
Grab some popcorn!

well i searched for this video and i was lookin for something to change my perception that how mechanical transverse waves transfer energy and how em waves transer energy and after viewing this whole video it was no less than an enchanting lesson that no worldy thing can match. thanks and more power to you prof.
gee...my four years of studying electronics engineering ... summarized in this single video, and i actually learn more
This is one of the most beautiful explanations I've ever seen. Thank you, prof. Matt.
Yes, I agree. But its wrong. Read my comment.
@@joeboxter3635 I am unable to find your comment, could you please reply the same in this thread here?
okay sir, i am 3 minutes in and i'm completely blown away by how well you explain things.
I am a little over an hour into this video and I have learned more than I thought I ever would regarding Electromagnetic waves. Thank you for this amazing class!
Apparently, I'm not the only one who fell asleep on CZcams and woke up to this. It's an amazing video to wake up to tbh. CZcams algorithm doing it right!! I went on to get my Master's degree in Information and Digital Communication, but I have always had a passion for physics. This goes right in the feels! Thank you for this amazing course!

You saved me from getting in trouble, I accidentally fell asleep with my computer on watching memes, and it ended up going onto this video, the downside is that now my dad is purchasing physics books and stuff like that.
His demonstration of current going up and down in waves as it changes polarity, causing magnetic waves to be generated at right angles to that (perpendicular to the electric charge) is brilliant.
Some professors have the ability to take a simple principle and make it incomprehensible; it's much rarer for a professor to communicate principles so that everyone can understand them.
17 minutes in and your teaching methods for these phenomena are a real treat. Seriously to anyone who is just starting their journey in science hang on to every word of this video. It will bring a level of clarity to so many concepts that I as well as many of my peers have just shrugged their shoulders and just figured out the math and never thought of the deep mechanics of it all. I’m 25 and this video just unified such a huge part of my education in a way I can’t even describe.

Light bulb moment! When you get it... Almost EVERYTHING is simplified. I had mine about 30 yrs ago watching a show called "Connections" With James something on the Discovery channel, back when you actually learned something. Then later in college it was solidified with two factors, Atmosphere, and Frequency. Michio Kaku , (spelled wrong I'm sure) is another great teacher that lead to my own👉 "light bulb moment" 👈
Wow, Dr. Anderson is a great teacher. He makes physics so clear and understandable. What a gift he is to teaching and science. When I first started watching this video, I thought, OMG an academic is about to make the difficult to understand even more difficult and I just may be wasting my time. Was I wrong! What a surprising blessing, for sure.
Thanks for the wonderful comment. Glad to be of service.
Cheers,
Dr. A
I agree. I've had professors who try to dumb down material WAY too much and I've also had professors on the other side of the spectrum who make things so difficult to understand. I'm glad Professor Anderson has achieved that healthy teaching medium.
Is the Earth gravitationally attracted to the position of the Sun, ~8 minutes ago? If yes, bye bye coherent solar system. If no, C is not a speed limit and something must be communicating instantaneously. Or I need more information.
Thanks.
When you gave the example of the Sun for visible light, I thought that maybe it would have been good to add that the Sun isn't limited to visible light.
Thanks.
Can waves propagate through no medium? Have you contemplated the existence of a medium in "free space"? Could a test, better than P&W, be devised to double check with more rigor?
When you shield an antenna from the microwaves coming from the Earth's oceans, according to data from the Herouni Antennae, you do not measure any Cosmic Microwavve Background. Why don't we try that and why didn't we think about doing that before?
Also, when light slows down through a medium, such as glass, how does it speed back up to C after it passes through the glass?
Doesn't C actually fluctuate, except that it's tied to the meter, making the meter fluctuate?
Thanks!
What a patient teacher....... Wish he had been our teacher way back then !
His explainations are made so simple , straight forward.......
Not only is this amazing in terms of content and easy comprehension (only 30 minutes in), but can we all just admire that he is writing backward on a transparent board. I’m sure some may find that common, but to explain it so well without skipping a beat and everything being so legible. Major kudos. I will now be subscribing.
Thanks. Not to burst your bubble, but there's a trick:

I wondered, what are the odds of being able to write backwards, AND write backwards well, AND write backwards well...left handed. At this point I realised that it's far more likely that you're using a video camera to invert the image. Then I realized how cute it was that you demonstrated the Right Hand Rule using your left hand. lol
Ah...I get it now... I see the wedding ring
I write with my left hand and I can read and write backwards fairly well so I didn't even think about this at all until I saw your comment...
I can also write with my right hand though and write mirror images simultaneously with both hands that look similar. I cannot however, write different things with both hands at the same time.
@@gustavofoss2280 I've been pretty busy lately so it took me a little while to get around to doing this. I hope this counts.

I completed my schooling 40 years ago. But this is first time that I really understood the concept. Thank you very much for the great way of teaching 😊
1 hr in and I just realized that you're writing everything backwards from right to left.. The amount of practice this must have taken is a dedication to teaching that should be commended. Thank you!

I remember learning about EMF when I was a kid (early 70's) - via the ARRL it is a Ham radio thing - it changed my life and started my life being devoted to science
i honor your name Matt Anderson for the quality of your lesson(s) and your contributions to Physics! Thank You Father, all the glory and praise be to You! Your creation is amazing!
Dear professor I love the way you teach , thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Great explanation sir
Thank you, it took my understanding to another level.
Thank you for that. Well put!! My previous experimentations with the "B" field , about 2 years ago began quite simply after reviewing the Coral Castle installations I realized that after seeing that his generator was built to maximize the "B" field by using "V" magnets I wanted to see what effects the "B" field had on ordinary rocks . So I went to my front yard and picked up a stone and weighed it , 38 Grams, then I was carful only tap it with the "B" field of a magnet , It dropped in weight to 22 grams. I believe the key is to find the correct frequency to vibrate the "B field and it should float.. No wonder magnetic rocks were called "load stones
I watch educational youtube videos because I cannot tolerate all the commercials on TV. I have been looking at DC motors and magnetism and running across this class was fortuitous. The professor is excellent ! Really.
If I had a physics teacher like you in school, I wouldn't have left science after school..... Thanks for sharing this video.
Then come on back! It's never too late.

One of my favourite lectures. Thank you Professor Matt
My first time watching this teacher. Super impressive on his pictograph work and writing backwards.
I am addicted of professor Anderson lecture videos. Thanks professor! I wish if I have a chance to attend your course

No, the length is good. The prof at my university always tried to cover a whole chapter in 20 mins video. So I always read the book and went to your vids when I was confused about the concepts. Great that I had been having high A's in the past exams, now just one more final to go and I am gonna rewatch a few of your vids.
Thank you again, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
Can agree, good explanation somehow perhaps better than I had at my High Technical Education at Eindhoven, Netherlands. Thanks and like to see more.

Excellent lecture Matt, I'll have to watch the others you've done.
Presuppose this, if you were living in a closed system & the Sun was within that system how would this effect what you have transcribed..... ?
Prof Matt.Please,can I get your video lecture on how to Deduce the Electromagnetic wave equation for magnetic field strength using the uniform plane wave components.
He is a gifted teacher. He expresses difficult concepts with such an ease and eloquence. Very few prof are of such a high calibre. I wish he was my physics teacher when I was in grad school.

yeah I tried Open University & it just wasn't that great an explanation so i gave up. Before that I tried a book called Engineering Mathematics by Stroud. It was awesome & so easy even degree level stuff. Another great teacher on CZcams is DrPhysicsA
I woke up to this dazed and confused, but after staying to watch a bit I somehow understood about what you were talking about.

Ahhhhh i keep wiping my screen where his missing bits! other than that a great vid, nothing better than neo himself explaining parts of the matrix, Thank you MR ANDERSON.
thank you for making physics seem so simple. I was taught physics some 30 yrs ago where the teaching aids were just a simple chalk and a board.. usually black, and of course half the time you're just looking at the teacher's back.. and if she was a beautiful curvaceous teacher, young testosterone filled young minds like mine was back then, your never really paid much attention to the board .. really.. so thank you for your beautiful explanation and your smart learning glass style teaching..

This seems a simpler than the heat-light-sound physics I had in college. It's still fun and informative. I am nearing retirement age and I keep toying with the idea of going back to school for a PhD in astronomy (which would mean an in-depth review of physics and algebra and trig and calculus and diff-EQ, etc etc etc). It's big commitment but it's not as if I would be in any hurry.

Heat - infrared and light are electromagnetic waves.
It really helped me for my exam!! Hope you will release a series about Astrophysics 😀😀
I was cleaning up round the house while listening and I saw the light refracting trough the glass door forming a rainbow and I realised I was seeing a Fourier transform right in-front of my eyes, it’s funny because I already understood and knew about these concepts individually but hearing it put like this together has blown my mind how all of these things are the same thing.
I did also fall asleep and woke up to this, but you have such a nice voice and this is really interesting with how you explain and visualize everything
This is awesome! I'm so glad I found your channel. I really love physics, but unfortunately HS doesn't offer anywhere near as much detail as I like. I plan to major in software engineering for practical reasons in getting a job. However, I plan to try to get a master's in physics when I'm older, after making enough of a living beforehand.
I've never seen a better explanation of em waves, atleast in high school
Great Job Prof.You are helping us understand our universe better and giving us the power we need.Thanks
I love this. The way he explains and teaches these concepts and theories. Has made it very easy to understand and digest and also how to understand the way these examples works in the real world.
I appreciate that. Certainly the goal. Sometimes it works.

My current favorite lecturer is Robert Sapolsky _ an altogether different subject but somewhat similar delivery.
A relatively thorough grasp of the subject in times, when the rapid changes and developments and occasional paradigm shifts in all fields of science make it all the more difficult to keep abreast of the changes taking place in any given discipline.
A constant focus upon the audience; which transforms an otherwise dry prose into a narrative or even on occasion into a kind of conversation that inevitably infects the attentive listener. The charismatic Feynman was undoubtedly very gifted at this; he probably infected almost everyone in his classes with love for the subject he so loved to talk about.
It all is unfortunately not to acquired or trained. In certain way it is also perhaps person dependent. Nevertheless, I assume training can also help.
Intonation, regular breathing, voice, the quality of sound, the command of language and correct pronunciation and especially the well paced delivery; where you pause at the right moment for right amount of time for the neural networks to prepare for a new inputs and equally important the inclusion of a short summary of the proceeding subtopic at the end. I wonder if you also do some kind of Meditation or Yoga; just curious?
And last but not least a fully well planned out structure that seems to give the illusion of a perfect transition from a subtopic to another subtopic; so that the listener is almost unaware of the effort that the lecturer may have made to make it possible. It seems almost natural, effortless and so obvious. But I assume it is anything but that. It hides the work involved in such easy paced flowing lectures; which assume are also the result of many experiences that contribute toward such clarity of structure and presentation.
I am sure your lectures will inspire and help aspiring students and spread this increasingly important subject for mankind and its global citizens.
Not only is it important for understanding the real world outside but will become more and more important in the world that we are creating and superimposing on the one that created us _ our inescapable new reality; which may not necessarily be the same as our ancestors perceived it and this world has a lot _ for good or bad _ to do with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
Even more important for mankind; these subjects also help in understanding human behavior _ which involve elector-chemical signals, hormonal chemistry and energy transfers. Such knowledge; even when it may not turn out to be the basis or the ultimate essence of reality, will no doubt remain an essential tool for all future investigations about the world and cosmos we live in; besides of course getting some lucky ones big social acclaims like Prestigious Prizes, or Fame or Money and for great many a fulfilling profession and for people like me; a truly effortless insight into the nature of the physical world; that I live in and interact with daily.
Thank you!
Sapolsky is awesome and so is Noam Chomsky. Richard Dawkins, Klaus, Greene and a few others are also great.
Really thanks a lot, an amazing class, I´d like you to activate the subtitles in this video to help people who speak in other languages, I can help with Spanish. Greetings from Chile.

Did you upload the lectures of upper level physics that you mentioned . just curious. I love your videos by the way. Cheers!
I've never seen something beautiful like this in life
This course presentation is just what I need.
This is a great lecture , arguably the best on youtube
Regarding the diagram at the beginning of the lecture: wouldn't the magnitude of the electric field at the midpoint get larger as the two oppositely charged point-masses move closer to one another? My reasoning is based on the 1/r in the electric field formula and superposition. As the charges move towards each other, the r term gets smaller. (edit): I was assuming that the E-field being plotted was that at the midpoint of the point-masses. Is that correct?
E filed of a single charge would get larger as we get closer to what is the midpoint of two oppositely charged point charges, if there were a single charge. But we have two charges. When the two charges overlap, are at the same point, the net charge is 0. So Dr Anderson is right since, no (zero) charge produces zero field. If you think of a point charge as a very small sphere of uniformly distributed charge, even then l, by Guass's law, the field produced at the center would be zero. As we approach the center, the distance from the center varies linearly. The 1 over r quare term in the field varies as 1 over r square but the enclosed charge varies is 1 over r cube. So the field falls linearly as r.
Very true! In fact, I too was thinking about that. He's right when he's saying that those oscillating charges produce oscillating electric field but not because of the reason he's saying. It is because of the acceleration of particles themselves. In SHM, the particle's acceleration is proportional to the displacement from the mean position. This implies that acceleration is zero at the mean position and highest at the extremes. Now, since the electric field is directly proportional to this acceleration, we see the electric field also following this "displacement analogy". The farther the particles, the higher is the acceleration and the higher is the electric field and vice versa. Hope this clears your confusion.
Was thinking the same but@@MrYaatri cleared the doubt..
Thanks man
