Does anyone know of a decent online physics resource. I'm having some difficulty with Lenz's law and a quick google search isn't yielding anything too fruitful. Anyone's university by chance have anything good online. Links much appreciated. Thanks!

hyperphysics is excellent

MIT has a whole bunch of online physics courses that are quite good. I used them heavily to supplement my textbook and Physics II prof, both of which sucked.

Here is the Physics II class: http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/8-02Spring-2007/CourseHome/index.htm

Problems that required the right hand rule were by far the hardest for me. Obviously, the right hand rule is itself easy to learn... but knowing exactly how to apply it just never clicked for me. I'd swear I had the right answer, but would be totally wrong.

In short, I feel you.

For Lenz's law, you really only need to learn Faraday's law, and it's an extension of it.

I used this quite a lot when I went to Colorado. It has some pretty cool demonstrations online where you can "experiment" with different things and see what happens. The circuit builder is especially cool for visualizing electric current and different types of circuits/what happens when you introduce a new component.
