he's right that the loop rule is less fundamental than Faraday's law. and he's right that in his demo, it is true that the two meters make a different reading.

if you want to argue about the definition of the loop rule, then you could argue that he's straw manning a questionable version of the loop rule. fine. one could supe-up a loop rule to be more elaborate (and replace the solenoid with a transformer or something...) but anyhow he's right about the physics

Lewin responded with basically the same sentiment:

Not gonna watch 3 videos, but did they address charge conservation?

Imo, that's more fundamental than any other law in EM. You can argue that faraday's law or the Maxwell modified faraday law also comes from charge conservation.

>>10173746
charge conservation is basically an implicit corollary of Gauss’ law

>>10173695
Yes. Kirchoff's (sp?) Loop Rule makes the assumption that energy (voltage) is conserved in the wire, which is true UNLESS there is a changing magnetic field in the wire, according to Faraday's Law.

... after making 90 minutes worth of video repeating the same talking points almost verbatim, instead of summarizing that point instantly.
For me, not a sign of great professorial wisdom.

Stop worshipping a fucking rapist when there thousands of physics lectures out there that were produced by decent human beings. There was a reason his videos were removed from MIT OCW, just sayin' ...

Dumb "pretends to be angry at /pol/" poster. Kys.

There is some video of this experiment being conducted with a female student from a lecture theater. After the guy lets go of the ball, she leans forward a little bit. Why does she do this?

Anon stop, don't you think she suffered enough after being abused by Dr Lewin?

The sad thing is that people trying to defend KVL redefine it stating that non-conservative field is okay because if you know the voltage of the induced EMF then KVL holds in their mind without realizing that in an atmosphere of high frequency or non-specific geometry of inductor then KVL would be impossible to use.

Fucking idiot.

>"accusation"

Too obvious, Walter.

>>10174213
considering the woman that was featured in the press reports is a feminazi on twitter I don't believe they had any evidence of criminal sexual misconduct. That and the fact there was no legal case.

>>10173695
Seems like just an argument over semantics and Lewin was a massive cunt about it desu.

kill yourself whore, women are shit at science and always will be

>>10174865
Lewin is right. He has been putting up with idiots being taught wrong about KVL since the 80s. This new line of KVL misusers are just the freshest batch,

>>10176397
Except he is wrong
