Electric and Magnetic Fields

• Demonstrations - Interpretations

  • Fields are created by charges and the fields cause forces on other charges.
  • 1. Coulomb’s law - relates electric field to charges
  • 2. Ampere’s law (Generalized)- moving charge or changing electric field generates a magnetic field
  • 3. Faraday’s law: changing magnetic field generates an electric field

• Demonstrations show the effects – but can you “see” the fields
