Possible topic: What are some potential topics for a Physics Extended Essay?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on seeking potential topics for a Physics Extended Essay (EE), specifically in the areas of electric circuits and Simple Harmonic Motion. The user, an International Baccalaureate student, is looking for feasible topics that can be explored within a school setting. Suggestions include investigating oscillator circuits that produce sinusoidal voltages. The user emphasizes the need for a specific question to develop a 3000-word essay. Engaging with the community for topic ideas is encouraged, as it can help refine the focus of the EE.

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this..im just a noob
ok i want to start my EE for physics.. can someone pls give me a topic to write on.
I wanted to do sumthing on electric circuits or Simple Harmonic Motion
its sumthing that shuld be possible to do in a school
any suggestions would be apperciated thanks

Welcome to the PF. What's an EE for physics? Are you first year of university in EE or in physics, for example? What education have you had so far in EE or physics? What is the assignment, exactly?
 
Maybe a survey of oscillator circuits that produce voltages that vary sinusoidally?
I recall seeing a whole bunch of them in a circuit cookbook.
 
I'm a student studying in IB (international Baccalaureate) which is equivalent to high school n this is one of the components of assessment n i need to start pretty soon. EE stands for Extended essay whcih a 3000 word essay on a specific question which we make up for ourselves
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
