Free University Physics Courses: Electricity and Magnetism

Introduction to Electricity and Magnetism

This free online course at Udemy introduces the fundamental concepts of electric charge, electric force, and electric fields, using hand-drawn animations.  This is excellent course for students who are taking a physics class related to EMF, or if you just need a refresher course to understand the physics of EMF, or you’d simply like a fresh perspective than one you learned in school.

Gain an understanding of the Core Concepts of Electricity & Magnetism in this free Introductory Course:

• Learn the fundamental concepts, electric charge and electric field, that help the rest of the course go more smoothly.
• Understand how charging by induction really works so you can guarantee you’ll get those grades on your unit test.
• Explain how the electric field is independent of the test charge.
• Solve problems involving electric charges moving through electric fields.

What you’ll learn:

How objects get electrically charged, both with and without touching other charged objects.

Set up and solve problems involving Coulomb’s Law

How the electric field is independent of the test charge

Solve problems involving electric charges moving through electric fields

Determine the electric fields created by point charges and charge distributions
