Episode 35: The Magnetic Field - The Mechanical Universe

Episode 35. The Magnetic Field: The law of Biot and Sarvart, the force between electric currents, and Ampère's law.
“The Mechanical Universe,” is a critically-acclaimed series of 52 thirty-minute videos covering the basic topics of an introductory university physics course.
Each program in the series opens and closes with Caltech Professor David Goodstein providing philosophical, historical and often humorous insight into the subject at hand while lecturing to his freshman physics class. The series contains hundreds of computer animation segments, created by Dr. James F. Blinn, as the primary tool of instruction. Dynamic location footage and historical re-creations are also used to stress the fact that science is a human endeavor.
The series was originally produced as a broadcast telecourse in 1985 by Caltech and Intelecom, Inc. with program funding from the Annenberg/CPB Project.
The online version of the series is sponsored by the Information Science and Technology initiative at Caltech. ist.caltech.edu

"Ampère's name will always be current." lol this guy.

spends first 5 minutes roasting ampere

Like the entire last half too...

This is so annoying. Whoever put the Annenberg Media logo at the front of these videos really made a mistake. It throws the whole audio off the video. I have watched these lectures more than once, so I know there was not always this Annenberg Media introduction. Can someone please put it back to what it was?

The only error here is the good professor completely fumbles the reason why Jean Jacques Ampere was executed. it was not at all that he was a ruthless royalist. In fact he went along with the Jacobins up to a point. But when the Jacobins revealed the extreme and intolerant nature of their regime, Ampere had reservations and the Jacobins murdered him. The reign of terror had begun.

but did he have a Jacobin guillotined?

Good work

If you look at Ampere's theories now; who may say that they were wrong? Scientists don't determine what is right or wrong. the Natural laws that make up Magnetics determines whether the Scientists are right or wrong.
