Some useful (or just fun) links for this course:

• Check out MIT's web page for their E+M course Their impressive collection of flash and java simluations are here (They also have a link to 36 videotaped lectures , kind of like Thinkwell!?)
• A collection of simulations from the CU PHET (Physics Education with Technology) group.
• Electric orbits (show F)
• Electric orbits (show v)
• Electric field lines (Phys2000)
• Electric field lines
• Microwave oven tricks you do not want to try at home, (Videos are a couple of MBytes, so you'll want a decent web connection to watch them)
• Magnetic levitation... of frogs
• Technical report on pickle luminescence
• The equipotential program I showed in lecture. (Unfortunately, you need Mathcad 8.0 to view it!)
• Some lightning info.
• Electrifying images
• Here are lots of nice Quicktime Movies showing field lines (including a nice film demo of "eddy currents" I will show in class) from MIT.
• Here is a good lens flash applet! (from our PhET group)
• Here is a different good lens applet!
  
  

• Giancoli's web site, a solid (algebra based) text, lots of good stuff here.
  
• Excellent Example problems from U. Illinois, that walk you through the steps nicely.
• A great collection of applets covering many of the topics from this semester (and more)
• A series of pictures showing and explaining Electric fields.

• Polarization of Water Applet, and a related microwave oven applet.
• How an LCD display works (with an applet about controlling molecules with E fields, a nice "visualizing E field" demo)

These links are specifically just for buying toys. (All suggestions from Mike Thomason, who is responsible for all the wonderful lecture demos we have had all semester!)
• scitoys.com is my absolute favorite. MatchRockets.com overlaps but I prefer the simplicity of SciToys.
• edsci.com Vast.
• Third place is a tie: Best sources for many specialized teaching toys. http://www.arborsci.com/Default.htm , and teachersource.com

• Spring 2003 (Dubson)
• Spring 2002 (Pollock)
• Fall 2001 Phys 2020 home page (Pollock)
  

• Concerned about the effects of EM fields on your health? I found what looks to be a good objective discussion here , I'd be interested in your opinion.
• Interested in the history of electromagnetism ?
• How things work. Introductory physics taught from a different point of view.
  (Also has a wonderful "answers to physics questions" section)
• Physics news, and physics "picture of the week"
• A recipe for success

And, just for fun...

• Some metric humor.
• Hubble Space Telescope Pictures.
• Official atomic clock time (Am I starting lectures too late?)
• Flashing Iridium (and other) satellites visible from Boulder, this week!
• My own personal set of physics/science links.
