The Electricity & Magnetism presentations date from courses, presented for 1st year Applied Physics and Mathematics students at University of Twente, Department of Applied Physics.          (see below for 3 website-apps)

In addition: Health effects of Low-frequency EM fields (GSM, HV power lines), see below.

The files can be used freely, provided you promise to be so kind as to mention the name of the author and not to change the files without consulting the author.
