Developed as a part of the MIT TEAL/Studio Physics Project, the Physics 8.02 Web site contains visualizations, course notes, and resources for MIT's Electricity and Magnetism course. The five visualization sections are: Vector Fields, Electrostatics, Magnetostatics, Faraday's Law, and Light. The course notes are organized by topic and have links to associated visualizations. All of the course materials used with these resources are available through the MIT Open Courseware repository. (Mirror site listed above.)
