Physics 3320 (Fa14)

Week 4 (Sep 15-19): We are in Ch 7 - Faraday's law and Maxwell's equation.

Michael Faraday discovered the basis of electrodynamics - changing magnetic flux creates "curly" electric fields. (Thanks to Logan from 3320 last year, who created the image!)
On the right: the physical laws which govern electrodynamics were later unified (and corrected) by James Clerk Maxwell, the hero of our course, who, alas, did not get a trademark for "Maxwell's Equations". (He also made the first true color photograph and made important contributions to statistical mechanics.)
