For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htmThis freshman-level course is the second semester of introductory physics. The focus is on electricity and magnetism The subject is taught using the TEAL (Technology Enabled Active Learning) format which utilizes small group interaction and current technology. The TEAL/Studio Project at MIT is a new approach to physics education designed to help students develop much better intuition about, and conceptual models of, physical phenomena.http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/8-02Spring-2007/CourseHome/index.htmBelcher, JohnFormaggio, JosephSimcoe, RobertWecht, BrianDourmashkin, PeterKatsavounidis, ErikWyslouch, BoleslawRoland, GuntherKnuteson, Bruce2008-01-25T12:04:44-05:008.02en-USPhysicsPhysics, GeneralMaxwell's equationsElectromagnetic waveselectric circuitsFaraday's law of inductionTime-varying fieldsMagnetic materialsAmpere's lawmagnetic fieldsElectric currentselectrostatic energypotentialelectrostatic fielddielectricsconductorselectric structure of matterCoulomb's lawelectric chargeelectrostaticselectromagnetismMIT OpenCourseWare http://ocw.mit.eduContent within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
