Week 3 (Sep 8-12)

We're getting into the thick of Ch 7 now, studing EMF and Faraday's law.

Faraday Disk Generator

This week we study how charges are made to flow in materials by mechanical motion (or other means!) The picture above shows one of the first electric generators, developed by Michael Faraday.
