Thank you for the advice

Thank you all for your responses, now I have a clearer understanding of the topic. So, it seems to me that rushing to do research before the thesis doesn't make much sense (besides being impractical). Therefore, I will focus on deeply studying the subjects and leave the research for the...

Okay guys, thank you for responding. Yes, I'm in a country where a master's degree is required for a PhD, and I was thinking that taking an extra year would be considered unfavorably by PhD admission evaluators or potential employers. Additionally, I read that admissions to the PhD program...

Yes, but if I hadn't lost a year (year off track), the total path for the bachelor's + master's degree would have been 5 years. Instead, it's 6 years now. Could it have repercussions on the CV? Also for a possible admission to a PhD program?

Let me explain it better: A few years ago, I started a bachelor's degree in physics (in my country, it lasts for three years). The first year (analysis, calculus, linear algebra, mechanics, relativity, thermodynamics, statistics, optics) went very well. The first half of the second year also...

Thanks, understood. As asked earlier, do you think it's best for me to focus on studying courses and exams during the first year of the master's program and leaving research for the second year? Another question, do you believe this gap year will result in academic, professional, and perceived...

Thanks for your reply! It seems like the master's program is well-organized. So, the first year and the first half of the second year are devoted to coursework and exams, while the second half of the second year is for the thesis. Do you recommend concentrating on coursework during the first...

Thank you for responding. I was thinking of thoroughly studying the research of some of my professors and then finding complementary insights from there. Afterwards, I plan to reach out via email to express my intentions. Do you think this approach could work? How can I determine if my...

Hello everyone, I'd like to share with you my current situation and my desire to redeem myself after a year off track due to a lack of interest in physics. I am aware of my past mistakes, but now I am determined to recover and dedicate myself seriously to my studies. Last year, I struggled...

Thanks, you are great :)

The electric field between the armatures of the capacitor is: E=V/h (With h distance between capacitor armatures) Next, the electrostatic energy is calculated as the integral of in the volume. So you get Energy U= so the force is h is the distance between the capacitor armatures l is the...

A capacitor consisting of 2 square metal plates placed at a certain distance is connected to a potential difference generator V. A slab of dielectric material is inserted into the space between the armatures. By doing the calculation of the derivative of the electrostatic energy with respect...
