AC Circuits: Crash Course Physics #36
Season 1
Episode 36
We've talked about AC Circuits, but now it's time to delve into the world of AC Circuits (or Alternating Currents). We’ve talked about how they change voltage, which helps transmit electricity over long distances, but there’s so much more to the physics of AC circuitry.

Let's talk about astrophysics, cosmology and how our universe works.
10:19
Let's talk Einstein and Nuclear Physics. What does E=MC2 actually mean? Why is it useful?
9:02
Why is e=mc2 such a big deal? And what about this grumpy cat in a box and probability?
8:38
Shini introduces the idea of Quantum Mechanics and how it helps us understand light.
8:25
We've all heard of relativity, but what is it? How does it relate to light and motion?
9:56
Shini talks to us about optical instruments and how they make magnification possible.
8:21
We've learned about light and how to bend it to our will. But what can we LEARN from it?
9:41
Light's behavior seems counterintuitive. That is, until you figure out light is a wave.
9:26
Sunlight, moonlight, torchlight... They all work the same. Let's talk about light!
Maxwell's Equations tell us a lot about electromagnetic interactions and physics.
8:18
Getting power at home is pretty amazing – and much more complicated than it may seem.
9:03
Megneto helps Shini explain how induction works and why magnetism seems so complicated.
