Main Page

Welcome to the Georgia Tech Wiki for Intro Physics. This resources was created so that students can contribute and curate content to help those students with limited or no access to a textbook. When reading this website, please correct any errors you may come across. If you read something that isn't clear, please consider revising it! Even better, if you can help with a contribution, pick a specific topic from intro physics and add it to the appropriate category below by editing this page. Then copy and paste the default Template into your new page and start editing. Please remember that this is not a textbook and you are not limited to expressing your ideas with only text and equations. Whenever possible include: pictures, videos, diagrams, simulations, computational models (e.g. Glowscript), and whatever content you think can make learning physics easier.

Organizing Catagories

These are the broad, overarching categories, that we cover in two semester of introductory physics. You can add subcategories or make a new category as needed.

Interactions

• Fundamental Interactions
• Other Interactions

Properties of Matter

• Mass
• Charge
• Spin

Energy

• Rest Mass
• Kinetic
• Potential

Fields

• Electric
• Magnetic

Simple Circuits

• Components
• Steady State
• Non Steady State

Maxwell's Equations

• Gauss's Flux Theorem
  • Electric Fields
  • Magnetic Fields
• Faraday's Law
• Ampere-Maxwell Law

Resources

• A Cheat sheet with commonly used wiki commands Wiki Cheatsheet
• A guide to representing equations in math mode Wiki Math Mode
• A page to keep track of all the physics Constants
