well today for the first time in physics, I saw the light at the end of the tunnel! literally..
Before we played with our light bulbs and batteries, we continued in the packet from 2.9 to 3.8.
finishing up the subject of potential energy. That brought us in the topic of Equipotential surfaces. A big fancy word for a very simple concept. dont freak out with all the lines, just remember the equipotential lines always go perpendicular to the direction of the electric field lines.
The best news all day was to cross out section 2.11. we're not doing it, ever. (songs of rejoice)
Now after all the hard math and complicated integrals we got to simplify our mines and connect the dots. or the circuit. playing with completing circuits to power up the light bulb, or 3 light bulbs, and drawing the circuit diagrams for them. learning the ideas and concepts of current, resistence, and voltage. were all basic in concept, but all vital for any further process.
But if i could get you to remember one thing from this whole day, I would have to say, GET TO CLASS ON TIME!! Prof Mason has been nice enough to grace us with no quizzes but because of the lack of bodies there at 12 he is threatening us. so for the sake of me you and the guy next to you, please get there on time so we can avoid these annoying quizzes!
see you all wednesday, at 12 noon!
