About the lecture
In this mini-lecture, we cover Topics 15.7P, 15.8P, 15.9P, 15.10P, 15.12P with a discussion of atmospheric pressure and pressure in liquids. In particular, we consider: (i) atmospheric pressure, which is the the pressure of the gas surrounding us on Earth, and where it comes from; (ii) the standard value of atmospheric pressure: 101,325 Pascals (Pa); (iii) the Magdeburg hemisphere experiment that demonstrates the power of atmospheric pressure; (iv) the pressure in a column of liquid; and (v) the forces acting on a liquid: atmospheric pressure, horizontal and vertical forces due to pressure in the liquid, and the weight of the liquid itself.
About the lecturer
Chris Bell is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Physics at the University of Bristol. His research focuses on the creation and control of novel electronic phases of matter in metals, semiconductors, and insulators. Recently his work has centred on low dimensional systems, including low-density high-mobility two-dimensional superconductors as well as ultrathin ferromagnets.
