Some useful (or just fun) links for this course:

Physics 2000 Applets of direct relevance to material we're covering:

  • Electric Force Applet
  • Electric Field Applet
  • Polarization of Water Applet, and a related microwave oven applet.
  • How an LCD display works (with an applet about controlling molecules with E fields, a nice "visualizing E field" demo) Here are lots of nice Quicktime Movies showing field lines (including the demo of the "eddy currents" I showed in class) from MIT.
