Can a Non-Expert Understand Complex Physics Questions?

How did you find PF?

Web search

A layperson who often bumps into tricky physics questions which require somebody who knows more than me.

Have a question on electrostatics, voltage and airflow. Do i just hit new post and go at it?

Yes, I suggest in the Classical Phyiscs forum.

Thanking you

Yes, I suggest in the Classical Phyiscs forum.

Hi again, so just about to post and it wants a prefix. Basic high school, undergrad etc.... Does that refer to my education in physics (none) or the complexity of the question? The thread if it survives question one (safety) is in regard to electrostatic plates at a few micron distances and relationship with airflow etc.

The level of answer required. It's probably $I$, as $A$ is generally postgraduate level.

The prefix refers to the level of the answer you are looking for. If you don't think that you could understand an answer directed at an undergraduate student, then choose B. But considering the topic, it might be difficult to give a B-level answer, so I might be more appropriate. You can also start at I and ask for the level to be lowered if the answers go over your head.

Great thanks for this
