Physics: week 27

This week in the Ron Paul Curriculum physics course was an intro to the interplay between electricity and magnetism, and AC circuits. Electromagnetic induction: Just as a magnetic field exerts a force on a current carrying wire, making it want to move, if we move a wire through a magnetic field, it creates an electric …

Physics Week 24: Introduction to dc circuit analysis

The main topics covered during week 24 in the Physics course from the Ron Paul Curriculum were: EMF, terminal voltage, resistors, resistance circuits, and Kirchhoff's law. Lesson 1: EMF: something that producing energy and an electromotive force Resistors in Series: in a series circuit the total resistance is equal to the sum of the individual …

Physics Week 23: Basic DC circuits

I've made it to my favourite part of every physics course; circuits! When ever there are questions and problems that require you to draw out a circuit and solve it I feel like it is a fun puzzle. Week 23 in the Physics course by the Ron Paul Curriculum focused on electric circuits. Lesson 1: …
