They're all different...does that make a difference? I figure the calculation would be the same.

I scrapped my approach because it wasn't working. Do you mean I should calculate the charge on the capacitors using Q = VC?

I've already attempted doing that - I think the big problem is that since no two of them are in series/parallel with each other, it's very difficult to use the standard method.

Difficult Introductory Electricity Circuit Problem -- Capacitors Homework Statement The Attempt at a Solution This problem was very difficult, and the most I could do was re-arrange the circuit into a make-shift Wheatstone bridge with all capacitors instead of resistors/voltmeter...

^That's great! Here's a picture of the flyer at the University of Maryland!

^Thank you for those suggestions! I'll take a look at those as soon as I figure out the answer to something that's been bothering me all day today (and try as I might, I can't understand it). I'm trying to understand why relativistic mass increases as velocity increases. Just to clarify, rest...

If you're really interested, you could probably find some advance math lectures online from universities. Just an idea :) (MIT's OCW program comes to mind)

Former I think...I joined PF only a few days ago and I can already tell the community is extremely polite and friendly.

Is this offer still open? :)

Thank you to everyone who responded! @Simon, That link you posted really sealed the deal and helped me understand my second question as well! Thanks! I think special relativity is one of the most interesting things I have EVER learned. Both you and Naty said that even though I "think" I...

First post on PF! Anyways, I'm a high school student so please forgive my lack of knowledge in some areas :) So I was reading about special relativity and I understand the ideas behind both postulates. It's the application of those postulates that confuses me. For example, please let me...
