Veritasium – Why Gravity is NOT a Force

Posted on October 16, 2020 by VCE Physics

The General Theory of Relativity tells us gravity is not a force, gravitational fields don’t exist. Objects tend to move on straight paths through curved spacetime.

Three Right Hand Rules of Electromagnetism – Magnetic Force

Posted on May 11, 2020 by VCE Physics

Teaching electricity and magnetism is complicated by the challenge that the magnetic forces are perpendicular to the motion of the particles and currents.  This requires a three-dimensional perspective which can introduce a variable of a “wrong” direction.  To prevent errors, … Continue reading →
