Electromag is an educative application in support to a high-school or university course of electromagnetism. It contains not only a memorandum of the basic equations, but it also contains approximately twenty animations illustrating the various concepts of electromagnetism. This application runs also on iPad and iPod Touch 3rd generation and later. 50 screens of electromagnetism! For teachers !! Connect your iPad with a video projector and show the animations to your students in classroom. List of covered subjects: Electrostatics: Coulomb'sLaw, Electric Field, Gauss Theorem, Electric Potential, Capacitance. Electric Current: Current and Resistance, Circuits. Magnetism: Magnetic Field, Magnetic Fields Due to Currents, Electromagnetic Induction, Inductance. Electromagnetism: Maxwell Equations, Wave Equation. Physical Constants. Each section contains at least one animation of which some in 3D. List of animations: - Coulomb's law, - Electric field lines, - Movement of a charge in electric field, - Electric dipole, - Lead-acid battery, - Torque on a current loop (in 3D), - Charge in magnetic field, - Cyclotron, - Induction field due to a current in a long straight wire (in 3D), - Generator (in 3D).

About

With this app students learn about the life and contributions to our understanding of electromagnetism made by Michael Faraday. It discusses some of the early experiments that reveal the properties of electromagnetism and how electricity and magnetism are inextricably related. Diagrams are used to illustrate key concepts. Michael Faraday proposed a theory to explain electromagnetism. Through his laboratory experiments he showed how a magnet can have an effect on the flow of a current. The app presents a survey of the significant contributions that Michael Faraday made to further the development of modern chemistry and physics. He was the first to reveal the nature of electromagnetism. He showed through his famous 'ice pail' experiment that the charge of a circuit is influenced by charged metal sphere. Students will enjoy using this graphically illustrated, interactive learning tool. The timeline feature presents key events in the history of chemistry and physics and tapping on timeline points brings up descriptions of each of the milestones that led to our modern understanding of electromagnetism. A quiz function helps students demonstrate their comprehension of the reading material. Key concepts related to electromagnetism are shown in colorful illustrations. We hope this app will inspire students to study chemistry, physics and science in general. The app shows that Michael Faraday certainly deserves a significant place in the history of electromagnetism.
