Electricity Resources

AI Thread Summary

Effective resources for learning about DC circuits include the website provided by a user, which offers targeted information and tools for understanding electricity concepts. The original poster expressed difficulty with their current textbook, "Fundamentals of Physics" by Halliday, Resnick, and Walker, indicating it lacks clarity on the subject. Users in the discussion recommended various online resources and tutorials to supplement learning. The conversation highlights the importance of finding accessible and clear educational materials for mastering DC circuits. Overall, leveraging online platforms can significantly enhance understanding of electrical concepts.

im trying to learn about electricity (especially DC circuits) and having a tough time, the textbook i am using 'fundamentals of physics' by halliday,resnick, and walker doesn't do a very good job of explaining. does anyone know of any good resources that could help?

Thread 'I've come across another fluid pressure problem I don't understand'

Neglect gravity other than that of water; neglect friction. F1=ρgsh=1000*10*1*(1+4)=50000 N; F1=ρgsh=1000*10*0.1*4=4000 N; F3=50000-4000=46000 N?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
