LOL everything

Optics was part of my physics 2 class. Do not want.

I had trouble grasping potential.

I had trouble grasping potential.

not sure if intentional.

 

[chillaxbro]

To be honest, it was all very difficult
E+M is just a lot less intuitive to me compared to Newtonian motion stuff

 

[lobo.solo]

This is subjective and relative to each person.

I forgot gravity exerts a force on a charged particle suspended in a field... :-(

what? why? was the particle touching the ground instead of floating through the air? lolnotsrs

Self studying optics alongside taking Physics C: E&M as a class. Optics and rotations are probably harder than all of E&M.

 

[hunterjumper14]

Lots of E&M concepts, especially Gauss's law (and Gaussian surfaces... I still have no idea what those are...).

 

[passionformed]

Only two people gave answers related to E&M, and many others find optics tough. Interesting. I know it is different from person to person, that's why I wanted several opinions

Optics/ray diagrams

 

[Midifelder10]

Maxwell can take his equations and do you know what.

 

[Aerus]

I love E&M. It's a lot more interesting to learn for me than Mechanics. I don't like Kirchoff's Rules, though. So much chicken scratch algebra. -_-

Maxwell's Equations, mutual inductance, and method of images...

This. Learning about it now for upcoming midterm.

 

[Yorick]

It was all easy, but just remember not to use your left hand for the right hand rules.

 

[darkjedi]

im pretty sure i blacked out physics 2 from my memory

 

[mimelim]

You guys should see EM 1 and EM 2. I was cleaning up my old notes from those classes, I can't understand a single thing I wrote.

 

[Beargryllz]

We put an image of an image of an image of an image in your image

 

[yehhhboiii]

Optics and circuits.

 

[farnell]

Lol I thought I was the only one that sucked at optics
