AI Thread Summary
Pre-university physics provides a foundational understanding of concepts that are essential for a degree in electrical engineering. While some students find topics like electricity challenging, hard work can lead to success in both fields. The difficulty of pre-university physics can vary, but it generally prepares students for the complexities of electrical engineering. Ultimately, the choice between pursuing physics or electrical engineering depends on individual interests and career goals. A solid grasp of physics principles is beneficial for anyone considering a future in electrical engineering.

I'm in high school studying physics(equivalent to pre-uni) and I find electricity a tricky topic so I usually work quite hard, is pre-uni physics good preparation for doing a degree in electrical engineering in terms of difficulty?

Physics and EE share many concepts. The decision about which to pursue comes down to personal decisions...

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
