ECE329 L6 part 1 

  • 00:00 – 11:21      Divergence
  • 11:21 – 15:23      Divergence example and plots
  • 15:23 – 18:05      Divergence theorem
  • 18:05 – 21:02      Helmholtz theorem
  • 21:02 – end        Curl
  •  

     

    ECE329 L6 part 2 

  • 00:00 – 06:22      Curl example in lecture note 4
  • 06:22 – 13:15      Electrostatic fields are curl free
  • 13:15 – 15:17      Another divergence and curl example
  • 15:17 – end        Electrostatic potential
  •  

     

    ECE329 L6 part 3 

  • Demo on E field and potential 
  • In this demonstration, I am using a Van de Graaff generator to generate large amount of electrostatic charges. The electric field are radially out from the generator. When I have the fluorescent light bulb align with the E field lines, the voltage difference due to the electrostatic potential will make the blub light up.
