    The Feynman Lectures on Physics is a physics textbook based on a great number of lectures by Richard Feynman, a Nobel laureate who has sometimes been called "The Great Explainer". [1] The lectures were presented before undergraduate students at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), during 1961–1964.

    Richard Feynman's Lectures on Physics also include a volume on electromagnetism that is available to read online for free, through the California Institute of Technology. In addition, there are popular physics textbooks that include electricity and magnetism among the material they cover, such as David Halliday and Robert Resnick 's ...

    The first edition cover featured an iridescent soap bubble, an example of the phenomenon of interference.. In an acknowledgement Feynman wrote: [1] This book purports to be a record of the lectures on quantum electrodynamics I gave at UCLA, transcribed and edited by my good friend Ralph Leighton.

    The Feynman Lectures on Physics – another contemporaneously-developed and influential college-level physics series; Course of Theoretical Physics – ten-volume series of books covering advanced theoretical physics, by Lev Landau and Evgeniy Lifshitz; PSSC Physics – a contemporaneously-developed high-school-level physics textbook

  6. The Meaning of It All - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Meaning_of_It_All

    The Meaning of It All contains three public lectures Richard Feynman gave on the theme "A Scientist Looks at Society" during the John Danz Lecture Series at the University of Washington, Seattle in April 1963. [3] [4] At the time Feynman was already a highly respected physicist who played a big role in laying the groundwork for modern particle ...

  7. Jefimenko's equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jefimenko's_equations

    In electromagnetism, Jefimenko's equations (named after Oleg D. Jefimenko) give the electric field and magnetic field due to a distribution of electric charges and electric current in space, that takes into account the propagation delay (retarded time) of the fields due to the finite speed of light and relativistic effects.

  8. Classical electromagnetism and special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_electromagnetism...

    The theory of special relativity plays an important role in the modern theory of classical electromagnetism.It gives formulas for how electromagnetic objects, in particular the electric and magnetic fields, are altered under a Lorentz transformation from one inertial frame of reference to another.

  9. Faraday paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_paradox

    The paradox appears a bit different from the lines of flux viewpoint: in Faraday's model of electromagnetic induction, a magnetic field consisted of imaginary lines of magnetic flux, similar to the lines that appear when iron filings are sprinkled on paper and held near a magnet. The EMF is proposed to be proportional to the rate of cutting ...
