Resistance: L and Cross Sectional Area A, The

The objectives of this course are to tease out the laws of electromagnetism from our everyday experience by specific examples of how electromagnetic phenomena manifest themselves. We want to be able: To describe, in words, the ways in which various concepts in electromagnetism come into play in particular situations; To represent these electromagnetic phenomena and fields mathematically in those situations; And to predict outcomes in other similar situations. The overall goal is to use the scientific method to come to understand the enormous variety of electromagnetic phenomena in terms of a few relatively simple laws.

proportional to L.
2. Proportional to both A and L.
3. Proportional to L and inversely
proportional to A.
4. Inversely proportional to both L and
A

Bulbs and Batteries


An ideal battery is hooked

compared to when only
one bulb was connected.

1. Is Higher
2. Is Lower
3. Is The Same
