2 How Special Relativity Makes Magnets Work
Veritasium explains why magnetism falls out of special relativity, linked when people ask what magnetic fields really are.
3 8.02x - Lect 16 - Electromagnetic Induction, Faraday's Law, Lenz Law, SUPER DEMO
Walter Lewin's MIT lecture on induction, cited mainly as the source of the two-voltmeter experiment that ElectroBOOM disputes, and as a demonstration of Faraday's law.
4 Capacitors and Capacitance: Capacitor physics and circuit operation
Animated explanation of what happens inside a capacitor, widely praised for building intuition about charge and current flow.
5 How Fast is an Electron and Electricity
Explains why electrons themselves drift slowly through a wire while electrical energy arrives almost instantly, often linked to clear up a common misconception.
6 Richard Feynman Magnets
Richard Feynman clip on why asking how magnets work has no simpler answer, linked when discussions reach the limits of explanation.
7 MAGNETS: How Do They Work?
MinutePhysics' short take on permanent magnets and the relativity underlying electromagnetism, recommended alongside the companion Veritasium video for the deeper why.
8 Kirchhoff's Loop Rule Is For The Birds
Walter Lewin's lecture arguing that Kirchhoff's loop rule fails with a changing magnetic field; cited in debates about what a voltmeter reads around an induced EMF.
9 Feynman: Magnets FUN TO IMAGINE 4 But see NEW UPDATED file at https://tinyurl.com/ycphc432
The Feynman clip on why asking how magnets work has no simple answer, linked when a question demands a fundamental why rather than a how.
10 The Surprising Secret of Synchronization
General science video on how coupled oscillators such as metronomes fall into step; cited as background when people ask whether crystal oscillators or blinking LEDs synchronise.
