Professor Geoffrey Taylor, former head of the School of Physics at Melbourne University explores these concepts and issues:
• electrons, electrical repulsion and attraction
• Moving charge produces a magnetic field: there is no magnetic charge
• Ampere’s Law, connecting current and the strength of a magnetic field
• Change in a magnetic field inducing current; Lenz’s Law
• Maxwell: a change in the electric field generates a magnetic field
• Ohm’s and Faraday’s Law
• Misconceptions about current and EMF
• A model to explain flux
• The concept of RMS
• High-energy physics: collider experiments and the search for the Higgs boson particles
One of a series of lectures/demonstrations in the Advanced Physics Series for physics teachers produced in conjunction with the University of Melbourne.
