AI Thread Summary
For freshman students studying electricity, video lectures covering topics like Coulomb's law, Gauss's law, electric potential, magnetism, capacitors, and resistors are recommended for better understanding. To study effectively, it's crucial to start early and engage with a variety of textbook problems beyond just tutorial work. This approach builds confidence and knowledge, making it easier to seek help when needed. Additionally, tackling past exams after completing lectures can enhance preparation. Balancing study with personal life is possible, but prioritizing study time is essential for success.

hay everyone

my finals are up coming and i need help with electricity. my lecturer ain't saying anything more than what is already written in serway, so i need some video lectures for electricity. basicly"coulomb's law, gauss, potential electric, magnetism, capacitors and di-electrics, induction, resistors,...etc"
freshman material.

and does anyone have a tip on how to study perfectly?

thanks alot:smile:

start early. o:)

If you do lots and lots of related textbook problems after each lecture (more than just the tutorial work), you'll understand most of the content very well (and when you don't, you'll have the knowledge and confidence to get the precise help necessary). Then when there aren't any lectures left, you can start doing past exams. Incidentally, I think you can still have a life and "study perfectly", but you do have to put the study first (can't pause to procrastinate)... probably easier if you have another person to study with. Sounds like you're really asking how to cram perfectly.
 
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 'Calculation of Tensile Forces in Piston-Type Water-Lifting Devices at Elevated Locations'
Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is(Figure 2): F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...
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...
