Program 1 introduces revolutionary ideas and heroes from Copernicus to Newton and links the physics of the heavens and the earth. Program 2 covers Galileo's experiments which proved that all bodies fall with the same constant acceleration. Program 3 deals with the function of mathematics in physical science and the derivative as a practical tool. Program 4 deals with Galileo's efforts to answer questions about the nature of universe, the development of his law of inertia, and the risks that he took in challenging accepted knowledge of the period. Uses computer animation sequences, historical reenactments, and close-up photography of experiments.

Work Description

Program 27 looks at electricity, magnetism, and the twentieth century discoveries of relativity and quantum mechanics. Program 28 looks at Coulomb's law and the principles of static electricity. Program 29 deals with Michael Faraday's contribution to the modern idea of the field of force. Also covers electric fields of static charges, Gauss's law, and the conservation of flux. Program 30 discusses Benjamin Franklin's theory of the Leyden jar and his invention of the parallel plate capacitor. Also covers electrical potential, the potential of charged conductors, equipotentials, and capacitance. Uses computer animation sequences, historical reenactments, and close-up photography of experiments.
