Foundations of Electromagnetism

Have you ever wondered what powers electric motors or how electricity is generated? The interplay between electricity and magnetism, known as electromagnetism, is a fundamental force shaping our modern world. This course provides a clear, text-based introduction to these core concepts. By completing this course, you will gain a solid understanding of how electric currents produce magnetic fields and how these fields interact. You will be able to explain the principles behind many common electrical devices and phenomena, building a crucial foundation for further study in physics and engineering. What you'll learn: * Learn the fundamental definitions of electric current, magnetic fields, and magnetic forces. * Understand the principles governing the magnetic effects of electric current, including Oersted's discovery. * Apply the right-hand thumb rule and Fleming's rules to determine directions of fields and forces. * Explore the construction and working principles of electric motors and generators. * Analyze electromagnetic induction and its practical applications. * Understand the foundational principles behind modern electromagnetic technologies like transformers and data storage. This course begins with basic terminology and foundational concepts, gradually progressing to more complex interactions and practical applications. Through clear explanations and carefully designed exercises, you will reinforce your understanding of each topic. This course is designed for absolute beginners with no prior knowledge of electromagnetism.
