Description
This freshman-level course is the second semester of introductory physics. The focus is on electricity and magnetism, including electric fields, magnetic fields, electromagnetic forces, conductors and dielectrics, electromagnetic waves, and the nature of light. OCW Scholar courses are designed for independent learners who have few additional resources available to them. The courses are substantially more complete than typical OCW courses and include new custom-created content as well as materials repurposed from MIT classrooms. The materials are are also arranged in logical sequences and include multimedia such as video and simulations.

Excellent!
Prof. Lewin is great at knowing exactly what hangs people up with electricity and magnetism, and he covers the material clearly and concisely. This collection of problem examples really helped me out and I'd recommend it to anyone taking E&M.
