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?

pretty much exactly what i was looking for. thanks!

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

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...

Thread 'Explain this asphalt sheen'

This problem is two parts. The first is to determine what effects are being provided by each of the elements - 1) the window panes; 2) the asphalt surface. My answer to that is The second part of the problem is exactly why you get this affect. And one more spoiler:
