PRO TIP Block youtube.com at the DNS level — Pi-hole, NextDNS or your hosts file — but allow youtube-nocookie.com and i.ytimg.com. These tutorials keep playing; the rabbit hole does not.

Fundamentals of Physics, II (PHYS 201)

The mechanism by which electric currents produce a magnetic field (Law of Biot-Savart) is discussed in greater detail. The field due to a single loop and an infinite wire are computed. Ampere’s Law is derived. The operation of the DC electric motor is used to illustrate the torque generated on moving charges in a magnetic field.
