Electromagnetism and Optics

This lecture introduces the course of Physique Generale III focusing on Electromagnetism and Optics, covering topics such as electric fields, Gauss law, magnetic fields, Faraday's law, and electromagnetic waves. The instructor, Dr. Oleg Boyarkine, emphasizes the importance of understanding basic principles for practical applications in various fields. The lecture also delves into the concept of electric charge, conductors vs. insulators, and how to charge objects through induction and contact electrification. Additionally, it explores the motion of charges in electrical fields, the conservation of electric charge, and Coulomb's Law governing the force between charges.
