Several physics animations, including the following...
Coulomb's Law
A simulation of an experiment to determine the dependence of the electrostatic force on distance.
Comparing a DC circuit to the flow of water.
A simple DC circuit has a DC voltage source lighting a light bulb. Also shown is a hydraulic system in which water drives a turbine. The two systems are shown to be similar.
A Light Switch
A simple animation of how a common light Switch works.
Field Lines
Illustrating representing an electric field with field lines.
A Simple Buzzer
A simple buzzer consisting of a battery, a flexibile metal strip, a piece of iron, and some wire.
Electric Field of an Oscillating Charge
An electric charge is executing simple harmonic motion, and the animation shows the electric field lines around it.
Electric and Magnetic Fields of an Oscillating Charge
A 3 dimensional animation of the "far" fields of an oscillating charge.
Circular Polarisation
Circular polarisation generated from a linearly polarised electromagnetic wave by a quarter-wave plate.
Spinning Charges and an Inhomogeneous Magnetic Field 1
A spinning charged object passes through an inhomogeneous magnetic field. This animation is also used in a discussion of the Stern-Gerlach experiment.
Spinning Charges and an Inhomogeneous Magnetic Field 2
A spinning charged object passes through an array of 3 magnets each producing an inhomogeneous magnetic field. This animation is also used in a discussion of the Stern-Gerlach experiment.
