Next, Faraday’s law of induction is described, as well as some of its applications and interesting effects. Finally, inductors and AC circuits are covered, including RLC circuits, reactances of circuit elements, and resonance.

    Excellent but difficult course taught by a brilliant lecturer. A passing grade requires a significant investment of time and effort. I easily spent 100 hours over 16 weeks but learned a tremendous amount.

    A wonderful course by the amazing prof. Walter Lewin.
    He will teach you physics in a different way, learning what it really is.
    Furthermore, you will look at a rainbow in a completely new way...
