Physics teacher stuns students

A video showing a physics teacher playing Jay Chou's "Chrysanthemums Terrace" with only a steel wire and a magnet in a classroom went viral online, jxnews.com.cn reported.

Feng Yuner, a junior student at Physics, Communication and Electronic College of Jiangxi Normal University in East China's Jiangxi province, uploaded the performance and revealed the performer as her teacher, Hu Yinquan, an associate professor at the college.

"I created this teaching method to show abstract physics by using the interesting form to make my students love the subject," Hu said.

Hu was surprised to hear the video of his experiment sparked heated discussion online. "It's a good thing if the video makes people more willing to learn and understand physics," Hu said.
