SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding online resources for General Physics 2, specifically focusing on electricity and magnetism. The user expresses difficulty understanding their professor and seeks alternatives to traditional teaching methods. They recommend Khan Academy as a valuable resource, similar to Paul's Online Math Notes, which they found helpful in their previous calculus course. The emphasis is on understanding concepts rather than merely applying formulas.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of electricity and magnetism concepts
  • Familiarity with online learning platforms
  • Experience with calculus, particularly in relation to physics
  • Ability to navigate educational websites effectively
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore Khan Academy's physics section for comprehensive lessons on electricity and magnetism
  • Investigate MIT OpenCourseWare for free physics course materials
  • Review HyperPhysics for concise explanations and diagrams related to physics concepts
  • Consider joining online study groups or forums focused on General Physics 2 topics
USEFUL FOR

Students enrolled in General Physics 2, educators seeking supplementary teaching resources, and anyone looking to enhance their understanding of electricity and magnetism concepts.

I'm taking gen. physics 2, which consists of electric fields, magnetism, stuff like that. Big difference from classical mechanics in physics 1.

I remember in calc III, I learned nothing from my professor because he didn't know how to teach. I basically learned the entire course from Paul's Online Math notes. I have recommended this site to my tutees, and they're all very happy about that.

I'm trying to find something similar to this for my physics 2 class online. My teacher is very difficult to understand. I want to be able to understand the concepts in this class, and not just plug the numbers into the equations. Is there a place online similar to "Paul's online math notes" but for physics?
