How to Effectively Ask Technical Questions on a Forum

[AliyahNA]

Hey, I haven't' touched E&M in over 10 years. Now I need to go back and pretty much re-learn everything from college :\ There's no one on my end who I can go to with questions so that's why I'm here. I've tried to do this multiple times before and failed miserably but now I HAVE to do this (work related). So...wish me luck. Once I get back up to speed I will do my best to give back to the community.

All the best to you all.

Welcome to the PF.

If you have a technical question about your work, or general technical questions, do a forum search to see if it has been discussed already, and if not, start a new thread in the appropriate technical forum (EE or General Physics probably). Please always post links to the reading you have been doing about your question -- that helps us to see where you are in your exploration of the subject. And show any work you have done in trying to work through the issue.

If you also have schoolwork-type questions, please post those in the Homework Help forums, and fill out the Homework Help Template that you are provided when starting a new thread in the schoolwork forums. Please be sure to fill out the sections on the Relevant Equations, and show your Attempt at a Solution. If you do that, you will get good tutorial help on your schoolwork-type questions here.

There is more helpful info for how to post, etc., at the top of the page, under INFO, Help/How-To. Enjoy!
