I am getting ready to transfer to one of a UC as a physics major. Right now, I am in a community college taking electricity and magnetism class. I find myself not so good (++ creative) on electricity, circuits lab. I know it is an important, basic, course for physicist. However, I am not paying much attention, because I don't find it satisfying. Most of the time, class is focused on how to solve this kind of problem and other retarded*** stuffs such as mutual induction, solenoid, induced current bla bla, without understanding or discussing on why is it happening. Also, on lab I find myself slow than other friends. Because of this fact, I start felling depressed about myself coz I might be jeopardizing my future as a physics major. Is it okyae that somebody who want to do physics does not like application part.
I am deeply interested to study laws of nature. The only reason I am a physics major is because I want to understand the complexity of the fundamental structure of the nature. I am always fascinated and interested about fields, forces, nature of time, behavior of subatomic particles, and other really fundamental stuffs. I am not interested on Ac Motor or solenoid, I want to understand what is the reason behind the magnetic field, why Maxwell's set of electromagnetism equations are working, how they are related and so on.
Lets go to the question, do I have to be interested and be very good on such electrical stuffs?? If i am not creative on such electronics, circuit labs and other practical field, Can i still be a successful physicist? What are the basic sets of qualities does a physicist need? I love electricity and magnetism, but not the stuffs they teach on school, like how transformer are made of and what is the math behind it. I want to study why it works, why that math is working.
