Series Details

About

Charges are everywhere, from serving vital role in our bodies to being the enablers of modern technology like the device you are using right now. Understanding and quantifying their properties is one of the greatest advances in science and technology we have achieved, unleashing the potential of charges for our benefit, haha!. That must surely make you excited to learn electromagnetism, the utility is endless, register here to start your journey with charges now! This series will cover the first part of classical electromagnetism: Electrostatics. We'll explore charges, their properties, their effects, their applications. Everything will be built upon from the very basic, but will be covered in much depth and breadth. We'll solve basic to advanced problems, understand practical applications, and see experiments virtually. Knowledge of Calculus and Mechanics will be helpful. Testing: There will be assignments throughout the series. Frequency: We'll meet 2-3 times a week. One doubt clearing meeting will also be hosted every week. More sessions will be added later, waiting for your registrations! See you in class!

Tutor Qualifications

I took an advanced version of this course, scored high in my physics class, have experience in problem solving and physics tutoring.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

No strict attendance policy, come to any session(s) you like. But it is suggested to not miss many sessions as later sessions build on earlier ones.

Session 1

Orientation

Let's get to know each other! We'll also discuss the plan for this course, and make adjustments to select a time and class frequency that works best for all. In the end we'll get started with the electrostatics and discuss the fundamental question: What is charge?
