*Correction:* In the third equation (Faraday's law), those "d" symbols should be curly like they are in the fourth equation (Ampere's law). My bad! It doesn't actually matter much for the video, but it bothers me that I can't seem to get through a video without a typo. 😞 *Note:* Yes, there are similarities/overlap between my video and 3blue1brown's video from last year. That's one of the hazards of making educational content... but our videos have a slightly different focus and reach slightly different audiences, so I think it's OK.
Partial derivatives? And don't beat yourself up over silly mistakes. I was doing linear algebra homework last night and I must've made at least _10_ different silly mistakes. At least you you only made one.
My teachers think I'll be able to understand these kinds of things by just blabbering their mouths and making us to read textbooks all day, and to think that I'm paying their tuition makes me sad! I am so glad to find this channel.
I'm a Ph.D. in Physics but I've never been taught like this. During my college, these equations seem like a nightmare to me, but your videos will really help Under Grad. and Grad. students to visualize the real things happing there. Best wishes.
I totally agree. Just knowing how to use those equations doesn't really help much to understand what's going on behind them. That visualization helped a lot.
But seriously, I really appreciate videos like this. A lot of times in college I felt like I was just doing math without really understanding what it meant, and even when I was told in words, it didn't really stick. The math is essential to understanding the physics, but the physics sure helps in understanding the math. Would love to see more videos explaining equations and visualizing them.
Man, we had electromagnetism 2 years ago and I couldn't get my head around these equations... But now it seems too easy 😂😂 Well done to you sir! 👏👏👏 P.S. Can you do a video on fractals?
Please make more videos like this. I am a 3rd year electrical engineering major and your videos have helped me visualize concepts in a way that makes it much more satisfying than simply applying and solving equations. I truly am on the edge of my seat while viewing your videos. Thank you so much for what you do, it means a lot.
😂 I’m retired and spent a couple of months working through text books, teaching myself vector calculus for the express purpose of understanding Maxwell’s equations. You just condensed the fruits of all that labour into a couple of minutes 👍 All that work has had side benefits though, such as understanding Schrodinger’s equation and the Navier-Stokes equation etc. I look forward to your video on the NS equation when you’ve finish teaching yourself fluid mechanics 🙂
It's also much easier to understand knowing the terminology and equations to associate with the visuals. Your hours have granted you advancing comprehension in minutes.
I graduated from electronics in college in the 80s and couldn't visualize electron movement and magnetism until your videos helped understand what's going on. Your videos help me visualize invisible motion in my mind which is really hard to do because magnetism and electricity are invisible. Keep up the good work Mr Asylum. Your videos always get a like from me and yes please keep on making these videos.
I am very grateful to all the RUclips Math and Science (especially Physics) creators for sharing their knowledge, conducting practical experiments and simplifying seemingly difficult concepts. Had it not been for you guys, the interest in such wonderful subjects like Math and Science would have been nil owing to the boring classroom lectures. You guys have kept the Spirit of Discovery alive! Thank you very much for all that you do.
Man, the thing I love about your videos, is that you don't think of your audience as a bunch of idiots. You give us accurate informations, so we can better understand our universe. We can be kids, or uneducated ppl, you don't care and you always managed to be accessible and fun. Well as long as you keep doing videos, and curious ppl come to see them, we may be optismistic about the future of mankind. Thank you. And in conclusion: MORE! MORE! MORE! WE NEED OUR SCIENCE FIX!
Yes! I completely agree. He talks to us like adults, anticipates questions, and treats those questions like he's had the same ones. He's got such a gift for communication!
This is imo legit one of the best but underrated videos in your channel. I'm currently studying physics major as undergrad and in my 2nd semester we're learning about the Maxwell equations, and your video helps me a lot to understand this concept. Thank you very much
Likewise lmao. (For other readers, what Heavyside did, in distilling the 4 so-CALLED "Maxwell's equations" from Maxwell's (actual) 20 equations, was both a monumental task and a gift to the world, though his name is rarely mentioned. The least one could do is show his name hyphened TO Maxwell's, as our favorite Asylum inmate first shows it, before crossing it out in a reluctant bow to convention.) This guy never misses a trick. Sheer joy to visit his Asylum.
Great video! Going waaaay back, my high school physics teacher always had a great sense of humor and made the topics not only fun but accessible --you are cut from the same type of cloth so don't ever stop making these videos!
Nick, this is really cool! I was struggling at my university physics classes to visualize these math operations. I asked my physics teacher to sit down with me and explain the math in a style a 6 year old could understand :) He used a very similar explanation style as you did in the video. The physics at our university was too mathematical. They just threw integrals and derivatives at us and "here you go, this is it". But what I like about physics is that there is always a good way to visualize the math laws. They always mean something practical. Please, keep making these vieos! I see there are already 9 frustrated dislikers who cannot understand the math :)
Please keep making videos like this Nick! A lot of people are never shown 3-D conceptualizations of physics equations. Therefore, the only reality that physics equations describe for these people exists within the bounds the 2-D ink/graphite universe on the paper in front of them. This means that "solving" physics problems for many people is nothing more than a rigidly followed conversion method to transfer the ink/graphite universe symbols into a specified arrangement which will later yield the only symbol that matters to them (and sadly the teacher too)....the the letter "A."
You are really good at taking advanced topics and making them understandable through visualizations and breaking it down into simple language! I learn a LOT from these videos! Keep up the good work!
Nick, you are a brilliant and amazing public educator, and you have one of the best RUclips channels. I want to say thank you for all the work you do, and I hope more people support you by buying your merch and donating. Keep up the great work!
Why we don't always learn this way before to use this laws in a real calculation? I mean, is someone can use properly these laws without this real understanding? These laws have been created with this understanding, that's their real message! Are they people who managed to use properly these equations without this understanding?
I think it's a practicality thing. No one needs to understand what they're doing this deeply to actually do practical work with electrodynamics. Maybe they should, but I think maybe teachers don't want to go through the trouble.
The professor who lectured me on electromagnetism did this, basically, but explained with drawings and the right hand rule. No video with animations showing things in motion. You can understand most of it that way, but this video makes your brain get a way better grip on the whole situation. And after you start using the equations on the real world to solve problems it just clicks.
This is terrific. Anyone setting about to study the underlying math might benefit from having this presentation as an orientation into what the math is talking about. Yes, you should make more videos of this sort about electrodynamics, radiation/radio and so on. Splendid!
It is amazing how much knowledge you can pack into an 8 minute video. You teach so much so well and keep it entertaining all the while! I fully intend to buy your book in the very near future.
Thanks once again for an engaging and clear presentation. I've always wondered about Maxwell's equations; now of course, I know a lot more. Yes please ... more videos like this.
The very first thing that got me excited about physics or science for that matter is that it's very interesting, expressed in a correct manner! Your visual explanations do just that! They are indeed very insightful. Thanks for the video.
I love your videos about Physics! I'm a high school Physics teacher from Brazil and I like to thank you a lot for all the amazing videos. It's helping me a lot. Hugs
As an electrical engineer who knows everything you're talking about in this video like the back of my hand, I still am amazed at how much better you help me to understand everything. Where do you get these ideas from?
Ok. After watching this video, I've now realized how much I don't know about physics and math. The book that you've put together, just based off of the title, has shown me that I need to go back to the basics of physics, but it's a good realization though. I will like to come back to these videos eventually, because I really like the style of your videos. Keep doin em!
Very nice. I'm an electrical engineer and I must admit I usually think of electricity as a fluid as much as I can. It's easy to visualize. Changing between "actual" and "analogy" becomes automatic on a as-needed basis. Works for me.
Great stuff! A magnetic field cannot create current flow, unless it is moving. To get electron flow, we must move the magnets, or the wire. So this visualization explains exactly why that is!
I don't think so, at least i don't understand which Visualization / which combination of Visualizations would explain that . Can you please elaborate ?
and actually what creates current flow is the moving current that generated the magnetic field, acting on other charges. the field is only the messenger between electric charge. the lines people draw are just a bookkeeping tool.
thanks man, this is exactly what i need for my final exams. a whole topic is about electromagnetism. although i'm quite familiar with the equations themselves, some good visualization (which i'm not good at by myself) truly supports me. keep it up!
+100 about videos like this. I am a teacher at engineering and I strongly believe that "understanding" a matter means having an "intuitive model" about how stuff works. Maths and rigour are important because they get you quantitative results and prevent mistakes, but intuition is what guide you in the search of a solution. Maths and rigour will refine your intuitive ideas. Although I know Maxwell equation since ... too much time ;-) (30 years) I really enjoyed this.
I just finished studying calculus 3 on my own (along with 1 and 2) and I was about to start studying Griffiths E&M and then I see this video! What a motivation to learn! Thanks!
Every one of your videos helps me visualize a movement which is either in visible too small or too far away or hidden inside of something making it impossible to see any movement and therefore understanding how something works. I was blind for 10 years and my eyesight came back after I began consuming sugar again. I now have developed a perception without even realizing it from being blind all those years but I can perceive the wind which is invisible and built a savonius turbine that spins at 32x the speed of the wind using geometry which I figured out myself not using numbers and formulas but using straight lines. Your videos really help me understand the inner workings of physics combined with my newly acquired perception I can figure things out like wind turbines.i look forward to your next video Mr Asylum or can I call you Science ?
Yes, please create more videos like this one! Those visualizations help the learning process so much more. But I wish you'd follow up and explain more about the magnetic fluid.
Omgg, Sir U urself even dont know how much savior u are for all science lovers, you are godsent angel for me🥰Never understood this concept so deeply! This visualisation is all what we need! Thanks a lottt again!
I liked this. And yes, your use of the equations were certainly helpful in getting the concepts across. Beyond that, it's always good to demonstrate that maths really aren't scary and don't have to be boring.
Divergence or lack thereof indicates flow and charge!! Different flows on an area can cause a curl. Absolutely brilliant, thank you Nick for showing us this... Now your work is published in hard copy. Have you thought about a tour/show to share cool things like this with the general public?
I like this kind of video. I've always had a trouble with math, because it is almost NEVER taught visually, and my learning modality is primarily visual. Once I have a visual metaphor, I can "get" it. I can attach the numbers. But without that, it's like pulling teeth to get it to stick in my noggin.
A glimpse inside your head? Isn't that why we need the asylum in the first place? Edit: Thank you everyone for the likes! And thank you for the heart! I love these videos and have been trying to support the channel for a long time now. I think this is a great community of fans especially with all the younger kids and trolls on RUclips nowadays and how they act.
Remember when Ampere actually said that curl(B) = J, and Maxwell was like, "Hold up, that's missing something!"? Edit: also, I'd be interested in seeing you explain magnetohydrodynamics and how stellarators will create fusion.
The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator (a magnetic plasma-confinement reactor) accomplished fusion in 2018. Stellarators are heralded as possibly being able to get to sustained plasma confinement before tokamaks but on the surface don't seem to have a path for cost-effective maintenance and that's crucial for getting from an experimental reactor to commercial power production. The SPARC tokamak is giving significant focus on that aspect. For anyone confused about the difference, a tokamak has a cavity in the general shape of a regular donut, a stellarator is like a cruller donut. The plasma flow and fusion happens in the donut-shaped cavity. The outside of the donut is surrounded by electromagnets - basically just like the LHC, in that regard (but not in operation). Take hydrogen and deuterium, strip away electrons to get a plasma, accelerate it in a circular magnetic bottle and increase pressure until the plasma fuses into heavier elements - stellarators and tokamaks. Keep it up until the fusion reactions (already accomplished for both types) produces more energy out than you put in (we're not there yet). After that, capture the energy so as to make it usable to run electric generators, after that provide a path for maintenance and upkeep, after that make them cost-effective, and after that, profitable. The press keeps insisting that we've always been promised fusion in 20 years. I have no idea who they think promised that but they're the same people who print the same story every year about how surprised they are about yet another experiment showing that Einstein was right about gravity but they're keeping an eye on it because you never know. (Yes. Yes I do hate them.)
YESSS! Please do more math explaining videos for the physics, that was great! Also, pleeeease do a video deriving how you get the speed of light from the Maxwell-Heavyside Equations. I keep hearing that it just pops out from the math, but I can never seem to understand the explanations people try to give.
Can you make a video visualizing gravity? Gravity is not like other fields in the sense that there's close to no negative energy density. It would be very interesting.
I remember tackling these concepts in school many decades ago. Resnick and Halliday left me befuddled! You, on the other hand, have made it clear and comprehensible!! Thank you.
This is great. I always struggled to understand Maxwell Equations. Now I have a higher level and a better understanding of what they mean now. KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS!
Your video made me realise where did the right hand rule and left hand and stuff did came from. I was studying them last year but without getting into vectors, was simple but had to memorize a lot of directions. Thank you
I'm not usually a comment person... but I liked it! I had a professor in college teach grad level fluids and our class avg was 60% covering vector curl and vector divergence. Wish I had these visuals then, makes it more a math problem than concept.
Science Visualisation is the Ultimate way to change the world ! Really appreciate your work man! I subscribed to your channel! Keep doing more and more Science!
i really appreciate people who support you, however they keep you motivated. thanks again for all the hard work and willing to share its secrets with lazy people like me : )

Are you gonna do the video about why balls roll? I want to see it. :)
Please keep making visualization videos! I know that they might be harder for you to make but they really do help everyone understand physics better.
As a physicist I can really appreciate this pictorial and fun way of explaining :) helps me stay awake and sharp with the physics

Divergence or lack thereof indicates flow and charge!! Different flows on an area can cause a curl. Absolutely brilliant, thank you Nick for showing us this... Now your work is published in hard copy. Have you thought about a tour/show to share cool things like this with the general public?
I like this kind of video. I've always had a trouble with math, because it is almost NEVER taught visually, and my learning modality is primarily visual. Once I have a visual metaphor, I can "get" it. I can attach the numbers. But without that, it's like pulling teeth to get it to stick in my noggin.
This is probably the best video to visualize curl and divergence
A glimpse inside your head? Isn't that why we need the asylum in the first place?
Edit: Thank you everyone for the likes! And thank you for the heart! I love these videos and have been trying to support the channel for a long time now. I think this is a great community of fans especially with all the younger kids and trolls on RUclips nowadays and how they act.
🤪
Science is logical ,yet sometimes unintuitive. It isn't actually crazy at all.

Yup. Unfortunately though flerfers don't understand this and it scares them.)
That was my thought! When he said "take you inside my head" I had to pause and think about whether or not to continue watching!
Note for the future that you lose the heart when you edit your comment. Consider putting thanks in a reply to yourself if you care about that.
“Should I make more videos like this one?”
Me: Yes! Of course! This was the best explanation video about maxie equations! I love it!
maybe you can do tutorial of how to make these animation
it's so beautiful
this might be the best explanation of maxwell ecuations i have ever watched
Do you even need to ask that???
Sure you have to make more videos on various physics topics to keep us enlightened
I have never seen this type of great explanation in my life.
Remember when Ampere actually said that curl(B) = J, and Maxwell was like, "Hold up, that's missing something!"?
Edit: also, I'd be interested in seeing you explain magnetohydrodynamics and how stellarators will create fusion.
The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator (a magnetic plasma-confinement reactor) accomplished fusion in 2018. Stellarators are heralded as possibly being able to get to sustained plasma confinement before tokamaks but on the surface don't seem to have a path for cost-effective maintenance and that's crucial for getting from an experimental reactor to commercial power production. The SPARC tokamak is giving significant focus on that aspect.
For anyone confused about the difference, a tokamak has a cavity in the general shape of a regular donut, a stellarator is like a cruller donut. The plasma flow and fusion happens in the donut-shaped cavity. The outside of the donut is surrounded by electromagnets - basically just like the LHC, in that regard (but not in operation).
Take hydrogen and deuterium, strip away electrons to get a plasma, accelerate it in a circular magnetic bottle and increase pressure until the plasma fuses into heavier elements - stellarators and tokamaks. Keep it up until the fusion reactions (already accomplished for both types) produces more energy out than you put in (we're not there yet). After that, capture the energy so as to make it usable to run electric generators, after that provide a path for maintenance and upkeep, after that make them cost-effective, and after that, profitable.
The press keeps insisting that we've always been promised fusion in 20 years. I have no idea who they think promised that but they're the same people who print the same story every year about how surprised they are about yet another experiment showing that Einstein was right about gravity but they're keeping an eye on it because you never know. (Yes. Yes I do hate them.)
I'm a student from Romania and your videos helped me understand and like physics so I don't worry about the exam. Thank you so much! 😍
You're very welcome 😊
I was here when U had 3000subs, I will be here when U be over 6mln 👌🚀🍻
YESSS! Please do more math explaining videos for the physics, that was great!
Also, pleeeease do a video deriving how you get the speed of light from the Maxwell-Heavyside Equations. I keep hearing that it just pops out from the math, but I can never seem to understand the explanations people try to give.
"nabla" feels ugly to Greek aesthetics. "Ανάδελτα" is a beautiful word
Ofcourse you should make visualisation videos! This is what the viewers need and this is what physics means!
Ahh, yes, applying my Calc 3 class to real life.
This is something I’ve been looking for a long time. I don’t know how you keep suprising me, Nick!
I put this on and wondered just what kind of drugs you were on. Then I realized I still had playback speed set to 0.75.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. Please do more like this about quantum mechanics equations, like Schrodinger equation!
Can you make a video visualizing gravity? Gravity is not like other fields in the sense that there's close to no negative energy density. It would be very interesting.
I will be doing Einstein's equation if this video performs well.
I remember tackling these concepts in school many decades ago. Resnick and Halliday left me befuddled! You, on the other hand, have made it clear and comprehensible!! Thank you.
You're welcome 🤓
Lol I bought the ebook this Sunday 🤣
Ive learnt more from just watching two of your clips than I did in half a day of watching and reading from other sources 📚📺😊 Thank you 😊 Subscribed 👍
Glad you found the channel! 😊🤓
"I want to give you a glimpse inside my head" - I'm very afraid
Fair.
This is great. I always struggled to understand Maxwell Equations. Now I have a higher level and a better understanding of what they mean now. KEEP UP THE GREAT VIDEOS!
2sec in, good video :D
Plz don't stop ur videos. They r crazily interesting.
Never clicked so fast.

Your video made me realise where did the right hand rule and left hand and stuff did came from. I was studying them last year but without getting into vectors, was simple but had to memorize a lot of directions. Thank you
You're very welcome 😊
Awkward observer clone was putting in work.
I'm not usually a comment person... but I liked it! I had a professor in college teach grad level fluids and our class avg was 60% covering vector curl and vector divergence. Wish I had these visuals then, makes it more a math problem than concept.
Science Visualisation is the Ultimate way to change the world ! Really appreciate your work man! I subscribed to your channel! Keep doing more and more Science!
i really appreciate people who support you, however they keep you motivated. thanks again for all the hard work and willing to share its secrets with lazy people like me : )
Thanks for watching 🙂
