In Python Physics #27, we break down the concept of electric potential using point charges and Python simulations. Learn how to calculate and visualize the potential created by single and multiple ...

In Python Physics #28, we explore electric potential along curved trajectories using Python simulations. Learn how to calculate and visualize how electric potential changes for charges moving along ...

Todd Pedlar has been a professor in the Physics Department since 2003. Some of his course topics include Classical Physics, Electricity and Magnetism, Quantum Mechanics, Nuclear and Particle Physics, ...

For decades, scientists quested after a room-temperature superconductor. Now that they’ve finally found one, the hunt is on for an even better material. Until last year, all known superconductors — ...

Physics is the study of the underlying laws and mechanisms explaining how the universe works. Most of what we do in daily life is based on a principle or law of physics—dealing with forces, motion, ...
