8.02x - Lect 2 - Electric Field Lines, Superposition, Inductive Charging, Induced Dipoles 

The way you glide to make the dotted line is so satisfying

I'm from india and class 12 and i preparing for iit jee and sir your lectures are more than enough for me and im very blessed to have you in my life i started loving physics because of you thank you sir.

Eggcellent lecture

It is (somewhat) a mystery how your lectures appeared in my recommended, but I'm glad they did! I love these!

Experiments are everything. I had this 802x course with Walter Lewin and till today (10 years later) I still show those videos to my students. After all it's hard to find good experiments to show to our students. Make them ourselves is expensive, so Mr. Lewin's experiments help a lot my students to understand physics SEEING it !!! Thank you Mr. Lewin 🙏

He's such an enthralling teacher that I didn't notice the fried egg until 17 minutes into the lecture lol.

Thank you for these. I'm a high school student, and these videos absolutely make me love physics more and more everyday. :D Sir, you've persuaded me to continue to university with this god tier -stuff.

I'm 17 years old, and I'm physics student at Portugal, I saw all 8.01x lects, your classes make physics something interesting, thanks for creating this youtube channel. Honor to hear you lects, thanks Sir Walter.

"Don't be late. I mean you, pretty boy". It can be a meme

His breakfast was so charged that it got stuck to his shirt for the whole lecture! Amazing.

Imagine anticipating every class lecture with this professor. Very memorable experiments.

prof lewin!!! loads of love from INDIA!!! I'm just a high school student here...but yeah I am in love with physics just because of you!!! May be in future...Physics will be my wife!!

I graduated as an electrical engineer in 1979 and love Walter's explanations. I work extensively in magnetics and all of his physics lectures are a great review to help keep me refreshed on the electric and magnetic concepts.

he definitely is going to be an inspiration for a physics prodigy of our generation.......

I love the way you draw your dotted lines. It's insane

Queria ter um professor com essa didática e paixão aqui no Brasil

For my exams these lectures made me to score top rankings .... Love him and his lectures .... Proud to be ur online student sir might u dont know me now but one day i will make proud u to have me as ur online student and this is my adhere promise with ruthless determination ...

I am loving these lectures. Great Stuff! Thanks for all the help you have given me this semester. I'm even showing your videos to my kids and they love them and could even explain kinda what you were talking about after watching.

These are great :D Getting more into electricity/electric engineering and I always hated when I was told to not worry about how things work on a deeper level and just learn Ohm's law (which is of course a valid law, but I always wanted to know where it comes from, and get a mental picture of how stuff works on a more fundamental level). And this really helps. As a side-benefit I even get to refresh my math a bit on the assignments

If I had one wish, I believe i would certainly consider wishing for ten thousand Walter Lewins to teach the world physics. Imagine what a wonderful world it would be if everyone had a teacher and role model like him. Unfortunately, I was never able to attend a university and receive a proper education, so i have to settle for watching lectures on RU-vid and taking free classes on EdX. It must have been great to have the experience of learning physics directly from Professor Lewin. He is an amazing man

These lectures will help me alot this semester, thank you teacher. Greetings from Colombia.

What you did 22 years ago, before even I was born, made me certain of getting a great score on the University Entrance Exam which is about in 37 days. Thanks a lot, sir Walter Lewin!

I started learning physics again because it is a requirement before picking an engineering field for uni, and I had already kind of had my mind set on programming and computer sciences. But watching these videos and just getting to read a physics book on my own terms without someone trying to force equations down my throat, I've become in every sense of the word addicted to physics. I am spending anywhere between 6-8 hours a day now, if not doing assignments, atleast listening to your lectures, and it's not to pass some test or get some grade, but because it's just fun. Pretty cool how all it can take is one persons enthusiasm to spark a love for something. I'm going to choose a major in physics, and you're part of the reason why. Thanks.

Your lectures are actually helping me like physics. Physics at university has been pretty difficult for me, but your lectures actually makes it really easy to understand, which has never been the case before. Just have this last physics class left and then I graduate! Wish me luck.

What a very special gift you give to us ! You add loads of context to the theoretical knowledge that remains long after graduating. I always wondered what use it would ever be to me. And now... I see the beauty of it all ! Thank you so much ! You made me 💚 physics !

Thank you, Mr. Walter Lewin. I had ended up socfusing myself with field really bad. It's all clear now. Really intutive. Cheers.

Indeed, your way of explanation and demonstration of physical stuff make us love Physics! Being an Indian High School student, I am going through these wonderful lectures to have a better clarity and strong grasp over the concepts. Doing tons and tons of numericals by just remembering the related formulae and direct results and not giving much attention towards why and how, is like eating kgs of edible stuff without acknowledging the nutritional value of those.

I've never considered physics as an amazing subject , but now I know why ... Because I've never been taught like this . Thank you so much sir 🙏🙏❤️

Sir I am from India and these physics lecture are very helped me in my jee preparation thank yoy sir for these amazing lectures ☺️☺️☺️☺️ love and respect from India

wow never thought a physics class could be so much interesting! Great explaination and more great are the demonstrations!! love it walter sir!

Thank you so much, sir, for these lectures. They are very enjoyable, and I find the way you teach using experiments rather than just formulae to be a breath of fresh air.

my gawd Walter, next time I'm depressed I'll remember that such a good man like you lived walked and taught this earth, and feel blessed about it. Thank you for such a lecture.

I finally fell in love with physics , thanks professor 😄

I am so impressed the way you give glass , I didn't know there is such interesting class that student isn't bored

30 years after my engineering graduate I watch Mr lewin’s lectures just for curiosity not for grades not for a special need for my work in deed learning is pure fun. Kids who had opportunity to attend his class should be damn lucky. He is a treasure

You are truly an amazing teacher of physics sir.we r very grateful to have ur lectures on RU-vid 🙂 thank you so much☺️

An understanding of electrical forces is indispensable for my field of choice, cognitive science. Thanks to your teaching excellence, I am getting really passionate about the physics of, well everything. A little mean tbh as I wanted to use physics for electrophysiology and then leave it for a time. Now I might have to learn much more to satisfy my curiosity :)

Love your lectures from Hong Kong!

I learned a lot from this lecture. I cannot put into words how grateful I am. Thank you so much Prof. Walter.

thank you prof.i am from Nepal studying engineering and it is one of the best lecture I ever had lot of practical knowledge

Everyone admire Sir Walter Lewin because he is so great. Thankyou sir for teaching in the amazing manner. I would also like to thank the cameramen who had captured the perfect angles for us.

Great teachings by a great teacher with great demos!!

I'm currently having Eletromagnetism and Optics as part of my Computer Engeneering course. I'm not into physics at all but your videos make me apreciate it a lot more. You're a very good teacher!

Wow! The way you teaches is awesome. I am from India. In Indian schools we are taught these concepts in class 12th and very fast. Much of the attention is given to the problem solving part. Most of the students solve problems but they didn't know the concept behind. Still the Indian students are very much hardworking (also due to JEE Advanced, etc). Sir what's your opinion on this ?

Someone ask me one day how they understand physics I say keep calm and watch prof. Walter lewin😘😘😘

You have many students all around the world and you are the best teacher. Everybody loves you.❤❤❤

Sir, your students are really lucky, you made me love physics, which I hated before, all thanks to you:)

Any neet or jee one??

I want to become a theoretical physicist, this is my last year in high school, then I will start applying for universities abroad (I'm from India FYI). These lectures really help with understanding and getting a firm grasp on the concepts. I really would like to be as good a teacher(if not better than)as you. You teach physics the way it is - "INTERESTING & AMAZING"

you are GREAT! there isn't a better word to describe your classes!

For the first time ever I've realized the actual science! Thank you for these videos

Thank you so much for posting this! Great to see people in love with physics. Greeting from Argentina.

I hope I clear my JEE next year from your lectures.

So much fun in learning about physics from the most terrific teacher, I can't stop staring that scarmble egg!

Oh my god, thank u so much for these lectures. I knew there would be electric fields but never really had a good intuition and never believed it.....but after seeing those seeds align in that way....it really made me happy...... and as always...*physics works* 👍😊

Previously I was in love with physics now i am in love with you also ,Sir Walter Lewin. To all viewers :- try watching the oil seed experiment at a speed of 0.25x it's of more fun.

it is a dream for me to do a class like that.Wish I was there! I am from Bangladesh and we can't effort so much in a class. "money cant't buy happiness but money may buy knowledge " 😞

thanks for posting these... I love them and the knowledge that goes with it.

my daughter really likes your lectures ...they helped her alot. earlier physics was like a puzzle that is now being solved by your help. thankyou soo much!

I like your classes alot sir.thank you sir.

Students sitting there are attending the most beautiful explanation of nature.....Learning it's way of working from one of the few men nature has bestowed upon with the responsibility of decoding it...I would surely be honored to attend your classes....But it is a dream.....Btw...LOTS OF RESPECT FROM INDIA SIR....

I LOVE YOU!! Walter Lewin! Thank you for your gift of teaching the science understandeble and easy and fun at the same time! You are a genieus!!!

My professor is from MIT and these were great supplementary lectures for Rutgers Honors Physics course.

Thank you sir, I'm a class 12 student from India aspiring to be a scientist/engineer, this definitely helped me revise my school content.

Massive respect for you Sir from Pakistan. :)

hi lewin your lectures are very nice and enjoyable I love it learned a lot from you beyond teaching

Professor Lewin...I'm a professor also and an Inventor in Mechanical Machines and I love your passion and focus for the field. I believe that one should have the passion that you have to do great things. Thanks for the videos.

Great knowledge and interesting personality 😇you made me love physics even more

Respected Sir, Who were those two 'men in Black' barging into a room where a great event was being held. Sincerely, My humble 'itching' Curiosity

First time in my life, I m seeing such a interactive lessons from the god of physics.

You Are Amazing🙏🙏 your ways of teaching are so efficient ! Thank you for sharing this with everyone ! High level education should always be available for everyone🙏❤

"You can always through induction [and deduction!] test the polarity of your charge."

Eggstraordinary lecture sir:)

Thanks for your immense effort great teacher , i have not imagined that one day i may understand these materials

Thaks a lot! I´ve just discovered your channel and I hope it helps me on my way through my electromagnetism course. Greetings from Mexico

i have seen at least 30 of your lectures Sir, which were of course very helpful, and i noticed you wear a fried egg or a banana brooch which is very unique so i want to know what made you do that?

Great teacher there.

I love this guy for his knowledge of his lectures so I won’t be late to get a static charge of electricity in my mind.

your experiments help us a lot in understanding the basic concept of physics. thank you so much sir.

Excuse me sir, you have an egg on your shirt.

Sir , how to be a great physicist like you? I am now a BSc physics student from India. 😊

This is not a lecture. This is a whole performance. Love the lecture

Ive always know physics was beautiful, but I've never put my mind into actually taking a look at it. I always thought only astronomy was interesting but it looks like i was wrong. Your influence is also so powerful it reached India, thanks a lot sir.

Thank you for your wonderful lectures professor sir i am NEET aspirant from india.what to do to crack Physics in NEET sir.

and that how you have fun and study physics at the same time :D!

Very fantastic professor I watch your lectures videos and iam feeling joyful of it . Thanks a lot #Egyptian engineer student

I just love the way sir teaches ❤ and I also love the chalks that he uses .

28:05 what the hell?

I want to study in mit.. Its soooo freakin gorgeous !!

No words to express my gratification, thanks, Sir.

Amazing explained! Still years later a very good Video!

Do they teach this in undergrad??

19:13 oh! the chalk break

Respected Sir,your videos are the Best thing happened in corona..God bless you always .Stay safe Sir... Thank You 🙏

Excelente Conferencia he quedado impresionado de lo maravilloso que es el campo eléctrico

Respected Sir, Who were those two 'men in Black' barging into a room where a great event was being held and did they say.... please...can u tell sir.... :)

Loved your approach and you make students fall in love with physics with all experiments and everything☺

Love from india 🇮🇳. Your lecture helps me alot in jee preparation

i am going through each of your lectures. i am afraid will this channel be deleted or removed before i finish all your lectures..
