PHYS 1310: Elementary Physics

Explore the concept of capacitance in a spherical capacitor and learn how to calculate it. Discover how to find the plate area for a parallel-plate capacitor with the same capacitance and separation.

Unlock the secrets of battery performance in this video! We calculate the terminal voltage for a battery with internal resistance, connected in series with resistors of different values. Explore the effects of resistance on voltage in electrical circuits.

In this video, we explore the concept of time and distance as we compare two cars traveling at different speeds along a straight highway. We'll calculate when the faster car arrives at a destination 16 km away and find out how far they must travel for it to arrive 15 minutes before the slower car. Join us for an engaging journey through the world of physics and velocity!

Explore the fascinating world of electric potential as we calculate the value at the center of a circular arrangement of five equally charged particles. Join us for a captivating journey into electrostatics and symmetry in this enlightening video.

Explore the fascinating world of light coherence! In this video, we examine various pairs of light sources to determine their coherence. From candles to reflections in mirrors and soap films, we unravel the concept of coherent light sources.

Uncover the fascinating science behind peephole lenses, including the principles of light refraction and observer positioning that allow for an extensive field of vision through a hotel room door.
