About this unit

Force fields sounds like science fiction, but they are a part of everyday life. In fact, they're what keep your lights on, your papers magnetically attached to your fridge, and you from floating off into outer space. Learn about electromagnetism, gravity, and how forces can be modeled using vector fields.
