The 'View the complete course' link is misleading to another course (8.03 Physics III: Vibrations and Waves from 2003) this course's homepage ( aka 'the right url') is ocw.mit.edu/courses/physics/8-­02-electricity-and-magnetism-s­pring-2002/

@consistent1 Fixed! Thanks for catching that.

A lecture on his dotted line technique would helpful.

I owe you Mr. Walter Lewin. I wish i could sit in your class. thanks to the technology. I clapped for your in my home when you can't see me. I have so much respect for you. I am so much far away from you and i must say you are the true definition of the teacher. Thumbs up guys so that Mr. Walter can see this.

@Ghaiyst I guess is somekind of tradition. They did the same thing on a course of differential equation.

[dacheese13]

@Ghaiyst no idea lol

[Ghaiyst]

what the hell @28:05? o.O? 

[hell043]

@94XJ in stead of pull the chalk, you should push it, under a certain angle, then push uit, it will bump over the chalkboard, at least i think thats how he might be doin it

[kingGgame]

why did those visitors drop by?

[4thKyuubi]

How about when the two charges are equal but one is positive and one is negative? If you are very far away from the two? In which direction the e field would go? mentioned this around 14:15

I Love The Video Electric Field | Field Lines | Superposition | Inductive Charging | Dipoles | Induced Dipoles It Can Increase My Knowledge

i just wanna know about the grass seed electric field lines.. what is the shade in the middle of the field that dissappears when you connect the electrodes on wimshurst generator??

can i get an explanation
