Vector Field

Mr. Andersen explains vector fields in physics, using gravitational and electromagnetic examples. He discusses the properties of vectors, including magnitude and direction, and demonstrates vector addition with an Angry Birds analogy. The video covers mapping vector fields, analyzing them to determine sources and charges, and includes a PhET simulation to illustrate electric fields. The tutorial aims to help students understand how gravitational and electromagnetic forces affect vector fields.
