Homework Statement An electron with the kinetic energy of 2.6e-6 Joules is moving to the right along the axis of a cathode ray tube. the length of the cathode ray tube is 16 cm and the length of the deflection inside the cathode ray tube is 4 cm. The electric field = 2e4*N/C. Everywhere...

I used to go to the tutorial center at my university a lot when I truly was stuck on a problem. Although , I understood the problems that my tutor help me solved and managed to get a decent homework grade, my homework grades never matched my test grades. I got a "C" for the final semester...

I know I posted a thread about relationship between the knowledge of physics and the person's Physics gpa . I have a different question: What advice would you give to physics students on how to go from C and B to A and B students. I average in at least 1-2 hours a night when working out...

what is the average GPA of most of the physicists on this forum. Like I said, I am a freshman and only taken my first introductory physics courses. I have a C+ average now. I want to know grades of other physicists, including the grade of physicists , who improved there academic performance...

I've only taken one my first year physics courl and received a C+ in that class. There are a lot of smart physics majors who's GPA is below a 3.5 and have manage to go onto graudate school to study what they love

, I was just curious, do other physics majors with a 3.5 or higher consider physics majors with a GPA between a 2.5 and 3.0 let's intelligent in areas in physics. Do fellow physics majors consider the physics knowledge the physics major with a 2.5 GPA learn outside the classroom? Or are they...

I had a friend who receive average grades in physics but interned at Los Alamos labs studying ultra cold atoms in his senior year. He told me he just went up to a professor and asked if he needed a research assistant

As an undergraduate, did any of you know what you wanted to studied in graduate school. I have absolutely no idea what I want to studied once I begin graduate school. Was there something that caused you to go into a certain direction in a physics field. I guess most people get there...

Homework Statement A balloon is filled with helium at an atomospheric pressure. The skin of the balloon has a mass of 3.1 kg and the volume of the balloon is 18 m^3. Homework Equations What is the greatest weight of the balloon? The Attempt at a Solution In order to determine the...

How stressed out were you when you encounter proofs

Also , What skills do you acquire and learnas you work toward applied math degree that you won't learn as you work towards your physics degress

What are the benefits of double majoring in both physics and applied mathematics. I am not talking about financial benefits. I was reading about applied math and subtopics like game theory and cryptography seem kinda interesting. Can anyone enlighten on what kind of careers I can have with a...

I am a freshman majoring in physics .Right now, I have a 2.84(yeah , I know deliciously embarresing), But I was wondering , If I could transform the B and C's I am getting into A's and B's. Are there any physics majors who are going through the same predicament ? Anyone else can give me advice...
