Topics include Coulomb's law (static electric forces), electric and magnetic fields, potentials and potential energy, inductance, and Maxwell's equations. Some basic electrical circuits will be discussed, but this is the specialty of Electrical Engineering. Here we want to emphasize the theory and concepts inherent in all electric and magnetic phenomena.

Click here to return to the PHY100F Homepage PHY100F - THE MAGIC OF PHYSICS. ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM - a brief historical overview The Ancients duFay Gilbert Franklin ... Maxwell The Ancients. The effects of Magnetism and Electrostatics were known from ancient times; Thales of Miletus discussed the lodestone, which he believed contained a soul, and ancient Greeks knew that amber rods, rubbed with fur, developed a charge. In the early 1200's, lodestones were being used as compasses (they always point to the magnetic North). The development of understanding was speeded up by the establishment of the scientific method (via Mechanics). William Gilbert (1540-1603). Gilbert has been called "the Galileo of magnetism". Apparently his duties as personal physician to Queen Elizabeth I of England allowed him time to study several scientific questions. He was the first to make a truly systematic study of magnetism, summarized in his famous treatise, De Magnete he concluded that each magnet has two poles, that forces between poles can be attractive or repulsive, and suggested that the earth is a large magnet. He studied electricity and its difference from magnetism, developing a list of substances which he found became charged upon rubbing. He also demonstrated that the earth spins about its own axis (in opposition to Brahe's views).

92. Nobel Prize In Physics 1923 - Presentation Speech We speak of an electric charge when electricity is accumulated on a body After Millikan s results both were awarded a Nobel Prize for physics last year. http://nobelprize.org/physics/laureates/1923/press.html

HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL The Nobel Prize in Physics 1923 Presentation Speech by Professor A. Gullstrand , Chairman of the Nobel Committee for Physics of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences , on December 10, 1923 Your Majesty, Your Royal Highnesses, Ladies and Gentlemen. The Royal Academy of Sciences has awarded this year's Nobel Prize for Physics to Doctor Robert Andrews Millikan for his work on the elementary charge of electricity and on the photoelectric effect. It follows from these laws of electrolysis that it was possible to calculate the unit of electric charge with the same degree of probability with which the number of atoms in a gram of hydrogen could be estimated, and as early as 1874 an approximate value of the unit was arrived at in this way, equalling about two thirds of the exact value now known through the researches of Millikan. The word electron was proposed later as a name for the unit of charge, but now that the discovery of cathode rays has brought to our knowledge free units of negative electricity, an electron means an amount of negative electricity equalling the unit of charge. Electricity does not pass through gases under normal conditions, but when a gas is exposed to X-rays it acquires the power of transmitting a current. It was soon proved that under the influence of these rays, positive and negative ions are formed, conveying charges of electricity in the same way as in the case of electrolysis. The discovery of radioactive elements provided still more powerful means for such an ionization of gases.

Ohm The part of the exhibition which is devoted on electricity and magnetism offers a large number of experiments as well as historical original objects by Georg Simon Ohm, André Marie Ampère, Heinrich Hertz. The original tubes and instruments that Conrad Röntgen used discovering the x-rays are also on display The first precise experiments in this field were carried out by Henry Cavendish (around 1771) and Charles Augustin de Coulomb (1785). They demonstrated that the force acting between two electric charges is very similar to the force of attraction between two masses, described by Newton's law of gravitation. Instruments of Heinrich Hertz Vaccum tubes of Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen Especially important, however, is current electricity. We all know that electric current flows through metallic cables. The frog's leg experiments carried out by Luigi Galvani (1786) initiated detailed investigation into the phenomena of current electricity. In 1820 Christian Oersted discovered the magnetic field of electric current. By accurate measurement, Georg Simon Ohm found the basic relationships between voltage, current and resistance. The discovery made by Michael Faraday of the fact that the movement of a magnet relative to a conducting circuit produces an electric current (law of induction, 1831) revealed another link between electric and magnetic processes. James Clerk Maxwell summarized the concepts of his time and widened them; the result was an admirable theoretical system of electrodynamics (after 1856) that comprised electric and magnetic phenomena. This theory was the basis for extensive conclusions. It anticipated the existence of

UTC Physics Humor 2 Electricity Hydrolic analogy of electricity Electrical question: A long time ago, when I was in the Marines studying electronic repair, one of my instructors poses the following question... "If electricity flows in a manner similar to water, why is it then that the electrons don't spill out of the outlets in a room and drown us? Or is that where we get static electricity? Just think of the implications... We would have to go around grounded, or at the very least, wearing garments made of insulated materials. Hmmmm... David James Thurber wrote a very funny story about his great-aunt, who believed (among other strange things) that if a socket didn't have a plug in it, all the electricity was spilling on the floor. (If I remember correctly) She would stalk around the house, plugging things into open sockets and crying 'AH-HA' each time. Picking huckleberries A friend of the family went camping not too long ago. The mountains of Idaho, Washington and Montana are filled with huckleberries this time of year, so she was told to bring something to collect the fruit in. She brought the vacuum sweeper. When asked what she was going to plug it in to, she answered, "A current bush." Jan Kucera: kuc@fce.vutbr.cz G. Westinghouse History

From Serendip INTERACTIVE PHYSICS The web provides not only a previously inconceivable wealth of information, but also the potential for experiences which it was previously difficult or impossible to have oneself. This last characteristic is particularly important in an educational context, since it opens the door for entirely new exploration-based forms of education. With this potential in mind, the list of sites related to physics and provided below has been compiled as an aid to teachers and students wishing to try out virtual, "hands-on" experiences in physics. The list focuses on sites which make use of one or another kind of simulation, and in general does not include course outlines or class notes. We have attempted to characterize the level of prior physics and mathematics education needed. A "general" accessibility level suggests material suitable for children and/or adults having no particular expertise in either physics or math. The "high school" and "college" accessibility levels are self-explanatory. We have also tried to characterize sites in terms of "playfulness," "interactivity," and "explanation." Sites which encourage enjoyable exploration will score highly on the first two categories, while the third category indicates the extent to which the site provides its own explanations of observable phenomena. Sites are listed under the appropriate one of a series of subject catergories. The list and annotations was created by Sasha Schwartz , working with Bryn Mawr College Assistant Professor of Physics Elizabeth McCormack and Serendip's Paul Grobstein. Links were checked July 2005 by Yaena Park Suggestions for additions to the list are warmly welcomed and should be sent to
