    Conceptual Understanding for Voltage in a Circuit

    So in the microscopic level, what exactly is happening to the charges as they move through the resistor, what causes them to transfer energy to the resistor? I know power is the rate at which energy is transferred, but I would like a conceptual understanding as to how this occurs, hence I...

    Conceptual Understanding for Voltage in a Circuit

    Thanks for the explanation, it seems like my confusion mainly came from observing the transfer of energy in terms of KE. So my follow up question is, how exactly then is the energy transferred to a resistor?

    Conceptual Understanding for Voltage in a Circuit

    So I should just take that it's a given that the voltage will be the same? It's just the current that changes depending on the resistor. I mean I can understand this from the formulas itself, but I'm trying to visually and conceptually understand why this occurs. I imagine an electron moving...

    Conceptual Understanding for Voltage in a Circuit

    I'm having trouble understanding circuits, particularly voltage. So my question is more of a conceptual dilemma. Please correct my definitions and relations if it is incorrect. Voltage is the energy provided per charge, and this energy is converted to KE once the circuit is closed, or in other...

    Applied physics, theoretical physics and engineering

    I have a question regarding the different fields I mentioned in the title. What exactly are the differences? I'm currently majoring in mechanical engineering, with plans of going into aerospace engineering. However, I was wondering what different fields are involved in coming up with new...

    Engineering Aerospace Engineering Course requirements

    Hello! I'm here to ask a question regarding Aerospace Engineering. And before I do so, I just want to make sure my definition of Aerospace Engineering is correct. It's a field involved in the design and research of aircraft or spacecraft . And if my definition is correct, I would like to state...
