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.

Join us for a dramatic river rescue mission! In this video, we solve the problem of how a rescue team can reach a child in danger of drowning in a fast-flowing river. We calculate the angle from the shore for their pilot to approach the child directly, considering the river's current and the boat's speed. Explore the principles of vector addition and save lives!

Discover the key reasons why measurement standards rooted in laboratory procedures offer advantages over standards based on specific objects, like the international prototype kilogram. Dive into the world of metrology and standardization in this informative video.

Exploring the behavior of oil and water in a U-shaped tube when a barrier is removed. Understand the impact of differing densities on fluid heights. Witness equilibrium scenarios effects of equal densities and the displacement dynamics of lighter liquids.

Explore the intriguing interplay of electric fields and conductors in this video. We examine how the presence of a point charge inside or outside a conductor affects the electric field. Join us to unravel the principles of electrostatics.
