Magnetism Slide Show:
A small slideshow that has some content notes and some questions. A small example of a slideshow that isn't purely, deathly boring.It isn't great, but its ok. A work in progress. plulai.
Description: A PowerPoint file showing how the magnetic force acting on a moving charge may be regarded as an electric force from the rest frame of the moving charge. Based upon the treatment of E. M. Purcell, “Electricity and Magnetism”, and T. M. Helliwell, “Introduction to Special Relativity”.

2. A lab instruction sheet and a sample spreadsheet for an R-L circuits lab using PSSC solenoid as the inductor:
RL Circuit lab using the Pasco 750 and the RLC Circuit board: this lab gives EVERY step, good if you don't use the Pasco stuff often and forget key steps from year to year (from Yvonne Eibeck)
The international group of high energy physicists involved in particle accelerators have a group of websites that allow students to use real collision data. Students can use this data in an attempt to determine what interactions have occurred. Cool Stuff. A charged particle is bent as it travels through these detectors. A nice way to tie Modern Physics & E&M.

Worksheet has different scenarios in which students identify the induced magnetic field and current. Students then create a flip book from squares of paper to animate Lenz's law through a few induced current reversals. I use this in my CP and Honors Physics classes to help students really get Lenz's law. Most students assemble their own flip book while others opt to purchase a Post-It style pad and draw on that.
