Lecture 1 | Motional EMF, Induced Currents

Magnetic Induction

Observing motional EMF is as easy as plucking a metal guitar string next to a magnet. Okay, you also need an oscilloscope and the lessons learned in this class :)

Pre-lecture Study Resources

Watch the pre-lecture videos and read through the OpenStax text before doing the pre-lecture homework or attending class.
