AP Both Unit 12 - Magnetic Field / Magnetic Force

Monday 3/29/21

  1. Unit 12 Magnetic Field/Force Notes 2021

  2. viewed MIT 8.02 Video Lecture 11 on Magnetic Fields, Lorentz Force, Torques, Electric Motors (DC)...students should take notes

  3. watched the following videos from the edX.org Georgetown course on AP C E and M exam

Defining the magnetic field

Magnetic Field examples -- following this, we checked out the Phet simulation Magnet and Compass and answered the MC questions that followed (found on slide 1 of note packet)

Lorentz Force and the Right Hand Rule -- following this, we answered MC questions that followed (found on slides 2-6 of the note packet)

Charge Moving in Electric Field

Charge Moving in Electric Field (continued)

Charge Moving in Electric Field (continued again) .. we will watch this again


  1. discussed note packet from University of Illinois through slide 23 (in notes link above)

  2. watch these 3 videos on the determinant of a 3x3 matrix (finding the cross product):

    1. matrix determinant video 1

    2. matrix determinant video 2

    3. matrix determinant video 3
