Welcome


The title says it all: this blog features physics videos found everywhere on the web: animations, demonstrations, lectures, documentaries.
Please go here if you want to suggest other nice physics videos, and here if I mistakingly infringed your copyrights. If you understand French, you'll find a huge selection of physics videos in French in my other blog Vidéos de Physique.

Electromagnetic induction

These animations show a magnet approaching a conducting coil, then getting farther. The magnetic field lines caused by the magnet change color when they get through the coil. The inducted current in the coil is represented by red spheres in motion (they move in the direction of conventional current).
