In this video, we derive the electric field between two charged plates using fundamental principles of electrostatics. Step-by-step reasoning, clear equations, and physical intuition are used to show ...

In this video, we use Gauss’s law to find the electric field of a uniformly charged sphere. We derive the field both inside and outside the sphere, explain the symmetry behind the Gaussian surface ...

As the Parker Solar Probe ventures closer to the sun, we are learning new things about our home star. In a new study, physicists led by the University of Iowa report the first definitive measurements ...

For the first time, scientists have measured a long-sought global electric field in the Earth’s atmosphere. This field, called the ambipolar electric field, was predicted to exist decades ago but ...

NASA scientists have discovered a planet-wide electric field surrounding Earth, confirming a 60-year-old hypothesis. Studying the field could yield some vital information about how our planet's ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

High-speed imaging of charged droplet dynamics reveals a critical transition in the role of non-uniform AC electric fields on ...
