Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has any links to any Electricity & Magnetism tutorials. I don't understand very well and was hoping for maybe an online book or something. Our lecture textbook sucks. We are doing Gauss's Law.

Thanks!

Hi there,

I understand your struggle with Gauss's Law in your Electricity & Magnetism class. It can definitely be a challenging topic to grasp. Fortunately, there are plenty of online resources available to help you out. Here are a few links that I think may be helpful:

1. Khan Academy: They have a great series of videos and practice problems specifically on Gauss's Law. You can access them for free on their website or YouTube channel.

2. Physics Classroom: This website has a section dedicated to electricity and magnetism, including tutorials on Gauss's Law. They also have interactive simulations and practice problems to help you understand the concept.

3. MIT OpenCourseWare: This is a great resource for college-level physics courses. They have lecture notes, problem sets, and exams available for free on their website. You can search for specific topics, such as Gauss's Law, to find relevant materials.

I hope these resources will help you better understand Gauss's Law and improve your understanding of electricity and magnetism. Don't hesitate to reach out to your professor or classmates for additional help and clarification. Good luck!
 
Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'
Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
