Thank You professor for your tremendous help. I was going hopeless to my test and now I got an A+.I'm writing you from Puerto Rico, I will make sure to spread the link so my peers will benefit from you! Thanks, Thanks, Thanks!
Thank you Dr. Anderson for your professional presentation of complex Physics principles which you masterfully teach and explain without inundating the learner with excessive mathematical rabbit trails. To be clear, mathematics is at the heart of all science but having an ability to explain those phenomena for comprehension is just as important as the mathematical definitions. All too often I see other academics that are unable to explain the practical "how's" and "why's" of physical phenomena and get bogged down in the weeds of excessive mathematical definitions. You demonstrate the perfect balance of the mastery of Physics and the mathematics with the ability to explain it in a wonderfully understandable manner. Bravo and my hats off to you sir!
Thank you, that really made my day. I suppose if I'm decent at this, it's only because 1) I also found it very confusing so I can relate to students' troubles, and 2) I've been doing it a long time so I was able to weed out most of the bad approaches. Nonetheless, I very much appreciate the feedback. Cheers, Dr. A
Thank you, professor, Honestly, I have been struggling to understand this concept for a week through lecture notes all been in vain. By following your tutorial all concepts are understood just flowing like a river on a slope.

Appreciate the lecture, Professor! Currently taking a self-paced physics course through my university, and this really helped give me an understanding of the reading material.
Reyiz eline sağlık bu zor günlerde sayende sınava giriyoz. Sir, Very appreciate for your pains. Thanks to your videos, I am working to midterms with you on that hard days
This is incredibly amazing and your so helpful. How ever I think at 18:59 you were supposed to use 27 instead of 18.since 9*3=27 Thanks again for the great explainations +Matt Anderson
Thank you Professor Anderson, your lectures are simply amazing, i'm writing this comment from P.R. China. Your teaching instructions already helped me and my friends. im sure i will tell whoever wants to learn physics to subscribe your channel.
Another first class+++ lesson in physics by Matt. His students are very lucky to have him. If I ever pop across the pond to LA way I will have a few beers with Prof Matt. On me of course. 19:41 --> 18 x 10^-9 = 1.8 x 10^-8 (Not 1.8 x 10^-10)

Right now we are using a mixture of Wiley and Cummings Understanding Physics and Giancolli, but the problems are so much harder than the chapters and I don't know how to bridge the gap.
Hi Elizabeth, Thanks for the shout out, and glad to hear you're finding these videos helpful. Glass board info here: www.learning.glass For my calculus-based physics class, I use Randall Knight's "Physics for Scientists and Engineers". It is a very solid book. Best of luck to you, Dr. A
Thank you so much! Our physics department is all calculus based as well, and I looked at a preview of the book and already ordered it. Additionally, the Learning Glass is super incredible. So, are we seeing you reversed in all of the videos or is it only what's on the board that's reversed?
hey Sir, my mom is a teacher in arts section she wanted to start a channel as well i can see that you recorded this in studio how much did this setup cost ? love your videos really helpful :D
Okay. I can not study due to think of your amazing board i watched the video which explain wrong writing but.. IT'S AN AMAZING IDEA! You are such a genius professor. Thanks for everything :)
I skipped like half of the year because I was having health issues and I'm trying to catch up and this is blowing my mind. I forgot how much I loved physics
Good day Sir and thank you for this lesson. However, there is one thing that confused me at 20:44; How did the answer turned out from 1.8x10^-8 to 2.3x10^-8?
i think one of his students calculated it on their calculator and resulted in that answer. so he got a more accurate answer , i had to go back a bit to understand lol
i have a modeling physics exam tomorrow at a different university. Your explanations are very clear with well thought out explanations and diagrams. i also love your pace. Thanks for bringing this online. it was very helpful. One question, how long did it take to learn to write backwards. its very good and readable!
+jonathan Rodriguez Thanks Jonathan, glad to be of help. And I'm not writing backwards, by the way (tried it, quite difficult). The answer is in this video: ruclips.net/video/CWHMtSNKxYA/видео.html Cheers, Dr. A
+Matt Anderson I still don't understand. It makes sense for uploading a video online but you're talking to students in the class do they see you on the right side of the screen and writing appear on the left side of the screen, or do they see your entire body on the left side of the screen when you're actually on the right?
@@dareintelligenceyourself dude just stop. Your argument doesn't make any sense. Look that guy in the video wrote on the glass backwards. How does whatever I said to compliment that guy related to your alphabet related to energy?
Raja Kamaluddin ok. Reread your statement and you’ll see it doesn’t make full sense. It left me to draw my own conclusion. And my studies considers the relationship with ancient languages and energy. I don’t expect you to be intrigued. It was a question. I do now understand that you were just giving him a compliment. Thanks
Raja Kamaluddin Forgive me if you thought I was insulting. That wasn’t my intention. I just saw read it a certain way that l made me curious. I apologize if you got that impression.
siddy, Makes me feel good. Thanks for the comment, and keep up with the physics! You might also like my new website: www.universityphysics.education Cheers, Dr. A
@34:20 why put a negative sign twice on the right side We are adding the forces kQ1Q2/l^2 + kQ2Q3/l^2 BUT because Q3 is negative we end up with kQ1Q2/l^2 - kQ2Q3/l^2 When you put Q3 there is NO need to include the negative since you have put it before substitution Please advise if I am wrong
Yeah, that was a little muddled on my part. If you just add up the forces in the same direction, then be sure to include the magnitude of the charge and not the sign. Cheers, Dr. A
ty so much sir u teach really really well Ty so much for saving my physics as now physics is no more a burden to me I am understanding everything ty so much doing great work and good wishes to u Sir from india 😊
The Vector analysis and vector calculus play an essential role to describe the scenario. Especially the breakdown component along unit vector, I am not able to tell what' s going on without them.
thank you for Mr. professor but really me and my friends would really like to have a lecture of dipole moments and polarization. otherwise we appreciate for the services you render to us
Whoah, now that's some company I definitely don't deserve to be in. But thanks! Feynman was definitely one of my heroes. If you haven't read "Surely you're joking, Mr. Feynman," do it now. It's awesome. Cheers, Dr. A
Wait so y is it 2L sq, I’m not understanding how we got tht for r when r isn’t just adding the two Al’s I would think unless I’m wrong, I just don’t get how we can assume that adding the two L’s will make r cause I don’t think thts how the Pythagorean theorem works, but I also could b wrong
I’m also confused with 35:30 y it’s double negatives when f2=f21+f23, in my head I don’t get y there’s two negatives when it’s adding but ur plugging in a negative, so y r u changing the sign of the equation when u just have to plug in the negative
peter uy, Did I make a mistake (that happens sometimes)? Thanks for the comment, and keep up with the physics! You might also like my new website: www.universityphysics.education Cheers, Dr. A
actually the words you are writing on the glass were observed by us in correct order and that means you are writing the letters on that side of the glass in reverse way is that true or is there any other reason for that.....please reply
@33:49 i have got a question please regarding your next move at this timestamp Sir, the minus (-) felt for me like it skydived from nowhere, you would argue that it’s related to the negative charge of Q3, but this does not add up for me, we are talking about vectors here, and both vectors have the same direction which is the î axis. The signs of Q1, Q2 and Q3 should be discussed once we substitute the charges by their actual respective numeric values, I hope to hear from you. Thank you :)
Ayoub, I agree it's a bit confusing. I tried to clarify immediately after. Basically if you want to add both vectors, so if you keep Q3 as minus, you should include another minus in front. If you regard the magnitude of Q3 instead, and just rely on the vector diagram, use a positive sign. Hope that helps. Thanks for the comment, and keep up with the physics!
