Electromagnetism and Maxwells Equations

~60 min · 15 stations

Electromagnetism and Maxwells Equations is a self-paced learning path in Physics & Quantum Mechanics, free to read, written at General Public / 9th Grade reading level. Across 15 structured stations, you will work through the core ideas step by step, each with a short quiz to check your understanding. By the end you will be able to identify fundamental properties of electric charge; describe magnetic field lines around magnets; explain electric field interactions in space.
