Electricity and magnetism

Electrostatics (part 1): Introduction to Charge and Coulomb's Law

Introduction to Charge and Coulomb's Law (video from May 2008 that I forgot to upload)

Electrostatics (part 2)

Electric Fields

Proof (Advanced): Field from infinite plate (part 1)

Electric field generated by a uniformly charged, infinite plate

Proof (Advanced): Field from infinite plate (part 2)

We see that the infinite, uniformly charged plate generates a constant electric field (independent of the height above the plate)
