A little note for Venetia Powell in case she revisits this web page: did you notice the link to a transcript for this tutorial just above the "Rate this page or react" section? Or did you mean something else by "a written copy"?

Really clearly explained but some diagrams would definately help listners to visualise the induced polarity.

Excellent content but would have been wonderful to have diagrams to go with it and refer to the pictures in the talk. Also, would have been good to have a written copy too. Theories are well explained and nicely set out.
