  • 8.022 Physics II: Electricity and Magnetism



    Fall 2002




    Course Highlights


    Electromagnetism has fascinated philosophers, mathematicians, physicists, engineers, experimenters and theorists for well over two millennia. This course asks fundamental questions like Why is the electric charge in nature quantized? and Why can't we find an isolated magnetic north or south pole? The web site includes problem setshints for problem setsquizzes with solutions, and practice quizzes.
