8.02 is a second-semester freshman physics class in electromagnetism. The website features lecture notes, problem sets with solutions, exams with solutions, links to related resources, and a complete set of videotaped lectures. The 36 video lectures on Electricity and Magnetism, by Professor Lewin, were recorded on the MIT campus during the Spring of 2002. Prof. Lewin is well-known at MIT and beyond for his dynamic and engaging lecture style. Course Description 8.02 Classical Theory of Electromagnetism. In addition to the basic concepts of Electromagnetism, a vast variety of interesting topics are covered in this course: Lightning, Pacemakers, Electric Shock Treatment, Electrocardiograms, Metal Detectors, Musical Instruments, Magnetic Levitation, Bullet Trains, Electric Motors, Radios, TV, Car Coils, Superconductivity, Aurora Borealis, Rainbows, Radio Telescopes, Interferometers, Particle Accelerators (a.k.a. Atom Smashers or Colliders), Mass Spectrometers, Red Sunsets, Blue Skies, Haloes around Sun and Moon, Color Perception, Doppler Effect, Big-Bang Cosmology.

OpenCourseWare presents another version of 8.02T: Electricity and Magnetism.

OpenCourseWare also presents Professor Lewin's freshman physics course series 8.01 – Newtonian Mechanics - with a complete set of 35 video lectures from the Fall of 1999 and 8.03 - Vibrations and Waves - with a complete set of 23 video lectures from the Fall of 2004.

These are very interesting lectures.... very help full to me. Comprehensive, more practical approach. Keep up the good work.

2 Lekjai, April 22, 2011 at 6:11 p.m.:

Thank you for all the work you done. Even thought i am not capable to enter MIT but i have the knowledge and understanding beyond my fellow classmate. Really grateful for that.

3 fatimabpla, April 29, 2012 at 12:23 p.m.:

thank you very math

4 madhusudan, May 7, 2012 at 5:47 a.m.:

hi sir i like ur videos very much. these are very informative and intresting.i learn many things from u

5 TonyStark, June 29, 2012 at 7:38 p.m.:

This is fantastic! Thanks! I love the teaching style

6 anurag, August 27, 2012 at 9:45 a.m.:

Lectures are very good but try to include also "class feeling" into them by showing class also for some time because you also need to understand how the class is following what are its emotions and it also becomes motivating because you feel like you sit in the class not only to view the sir all time apart from listening but also watch students.
