Hmm, how about your liking towards Math? Personally ... you'd require quite a lot of Math for pursuing Physics. Chemistry does require it too, but lesser compared to Physics. Also, at the undergrad level atleast I think you would be able to do more "cooler" stuff/ experiments in Chemistry labs...

Thats right, We can go all-night long! .. Yeah baby ! :D

Proved! or variations ... Prove! Hehe, I hope its not too corny?

Will and David - thanks for your inputs, hmm ... all right let's see after my exams I will approach a few professors for sure. I'm not hesistant of being no, what I am more anxious about is being given a project and unable to complete it. Maybe, its just a stupid subconsciousthing ... but I do...

Malawi - First off thanks for your input earlier. I'm aware of the power of Google, I just confessed that it didn't really make much of any sense to me (without breaking it down and searching for answers) initially ... and it wasn't directed at you. mgiddy - True, I do feel I need to work on...

Hmm, thanks all for your replies Michael - I must confess I didn't quite understand your post (One of the reasons I didn't want to approach a professor ...) mgiddy - Hmm, yes I was considering Java as I hear its a 2nd year course ... seems like a good idea to work on this cause I think it will...

Hi, Well since its almost nearing summer. I was planning on doing something constructive for it ... do you have any suggestions as to what I could do? Well as of now, the only thing I feel I know a bit about is Programming, is there some way I could use my programming knowledge to unite...

Hello All, I've been a periodic reader of this forum. Just thought of posting a thread for opinions from you guru's. Okay here goes ... I'm doing my 1st year of Electrical Engineering. Every class in Physics, I question myself if I really have what it takes to continue ... I find the...

Hmm, makes sense. Thanks mate!

Hi, I was just going through a question in my Physics textbook today. In calculating the electric field (E=sigma/epsilon0) ... sigma = charge density = q/Area ... they have used the area as pi*r^2, I can't understand why this was done? shouldn't the area of the parallel plate capacitor be...

Hello All, I'm planning to do a relatively simple project. What it consists of is a wheatstone bridge. I'm making a wheatstone bridge connection with 3 resistors and one unknwown resistor which is a pressure sensor. I know that the sensor changes from say 5,000 ohms (originally) to a...

1. Hmm, I need to draw a Free Body Diagram for the picture posted below. 2. No relevant equations. Just a geometric diagram. 3. I've done what I think it could be using help from Wikipedia. Could someone tell me if its right? Am I missing any other forces? The original object...

Hi Curious3141, Thank you for your reply. Firstly, I'd like to confess I am a newbie. I didn't get head or tail of that ... is VEroBoard a program on the PC? Hmmm , nevermind that. I guess I have to start some intense reading on circuitry otherwise the questions will keep...

Hi Arildno, Well, since I'm still in High School I don't have exposure to experienced people nor does the school have much of any equipments. The only working things in my physics lab are some voltmeters, ammeters, battery eliminators, light microscope, a few mirrors and lenses. So as of...

Hello guys, I am a 17 year old boy. Science has been a very interesting subject for me …. maybe not theoretical chemistry ;) I believe the school curriculum restricts us on the beauty of science. There is more of theoretical work involved and we are left clueless at times as to how this...
