The final lecture concludes the discussion on particle dynamics within electric and magnetic fields, synthesizing their interrelation within the framework of classical physics. This session reinforces electromagnetism's role in classical mechanics.
(November 28, 2011) Leonard Susskind wraps up the lecture series by finishing his talk on particles and both electric and magnetic fields and how they relate to physics.
This course is the beginning of a six course sequence that explores the theoretical foundations of modern physics. Topics in the series include classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, theories of relativity, electromagnetism, cosmology, and black holes.
