A new video is cooking, it is nearly ready so will be released very soon 😊.
This time, we will be resuming our exploration of electromagnetism.
I had originally planned to discuss Faraday’s law, but while I was preparing the plan of that video, I realized very quickly that there was still something I needed to review with you before doing so: the relationship between electric potential with electric field strength.
So, I was back to the drawing board, and I devised a new lesson that dives into this relationship.
First, I derive a formula for the electric potential energy that a test charge gets when placed in a field generated by a punctual source charge. From that, I deduce a formula for the electric potential at any position of that field.
Then, I graph that potential function, and demonstrate that the absolute value of the derivative of that function is actually... the electric field strength! Here is where the viewer meets the heart of the video: At any given position of an electric field, the electric field strength is defined as how the electric potential changes in space.
Now, everything should be in place to dive into Faraday’s law. It may take some time, as April-May is usually my busiest period of the year, but I’ll make sure it’s worth the wait!
There is also a surprise coming up in parallel with this new video… A tool that I will make available on the channel, and that will improve the effectiveness of your study sessions… It’s kind of ready… I’ll talk about it in another post 😉.

Hi Physics Lovers!
