  • The order of magnetic topics is different in these lecture notes that in the Activities. So I'm just putting them all here even though the topics cover both Unit 25 and Unit 26.
    For Unit 25 read lectures (1), (4, slides 8+), (5) and (6).
    For Unit 26 read lectures (2), (3) and (4, slides 1-7)
