RMS - Root Mean Square, the measurement of the magnitude of a changing value or quantity.
Peak - maximum or highest amplitude level.
Peak to Peak - the maximum positive and maximum negative values of an AC waveform.
Frequency - the current that keeps on changing directions.

The more turns of wire your magnet has, the better.

The more current that passes through the wire, the better.

A thicker core makes a more powerful magnet.

Flux Lines

Rules of Flux Lines

1. they always form complete closed loops
2. they never cross one another
3. they have a definite direction
4. they try to contract as if they were stretched elastic threads
5. they repel each one another when lying side by side and have the same direction.

Resistor Network


first thing to do is to solve the R3 R4 and R5 by adding them and then redraw it and you will get the value and which is parallel to R2, and then solve those 2 resistors in parallel, after you the value of that redraw it again and you'll get a series circuit and add them all that your total resistance, you can now start solving for the total current and start getting the voltage drop of each resistors in your last series circuit drawing. after you get the total current, go to your second drawing and solve the current drop of 2 resistors in parallel circuit because the current the in parallel will split.

series and parallel circiut

series circuit - the components connected in series are connected in single path of current flow in each components


parallel circuit - the components connected in parallel are connected in single path of voltage in each components

How To Read A Resistor








How To Read A Resistor

identify the first band, write down the number associated with that color; in this picture it shows a 4 band resistor, first color is yellow and that's '4'.

now the next color is purple, so write down a '7' next to the four.

Now the third color is orange or the 'multiplier exponent' band and orange has three zeros and you see a big gap and next to it the tolerance is gold, that's ±5%

so we have '47x103 ±5% = 47KΩ ±5%'
