Khan Academy: Electrical Engineering: Electrostatics

For Students 9th - 10th
Electrostatics is the study of forces between charges, as described by Coulomb's Law. We develop the concept of an electric field surrounding charges. We work through examples of the electric field near a line, and near a plane, and...

Atoms in Motion: Molecular Dynamics

For Students 9th - 10th
These programs are classical 2-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations. Such simulations compute the motions of atoms by summing (integrating) all of the forces that the atoms exert on each other. These forces arise from changes in...
