Angular Momentum of a System
In this video Paul Andersen explains how the angular momentum of a system can be calculated by determining the angular momentum of all individual objects within the system. An inquiry activity using a gyroscope is also included.

Angular Momentum
In this video Paul Andersen explains rotating object have angular momentum. The angular momentum of a point object is the product of the distant from the center of rotation and the linear momentum. The angular momentum of an extended...

Magnetic Field of a Dipole
In this video Paul Andersen explains how current moving through a loop of wire can act as an analog for a magnetic dipole. Magnetic dipoles (like compass needles) respond to magnetic fields created by other magnets.

Rotational Motion
In this video Paul Andersen explains how a net torque acting on an object will create rotational motion. This motion can be described by the angular displacement, angular velocity, and angular acceleration. The linear velocity can be...
