University Physics
General Physics (often referred to as University Physics, and broken into Physics I and II) is the foundation of what I like to call “General Physics” — the first stage of understanding what physics truly is at the highest level. […]

Generalized Power Law
In electrical engineering, the Power Law (also called the Generalized Power Law or Watt’s Law) is the fundamental relationship between energy transfer, potential difference, and charge flow. The Generalized Power Law Equation The Power Law states that electrical power (P) […]

Electric Power
Electric Power is the amount of power that is used within an electric circuit, expressed as P, and generally measured in watts (W). In simple terms, it is the rate at which electrical energy is used or transffered. In essence, […]

Resistivity — The Specific Resistance of a Material
The resistivity of a material is the measure of it’s specific resistance to the flow of electricity, a numerical quantity unique to each material which varies only with temperature. We symbolize resistivity with the Greek letter lowercase rho, ρ, a […]

Electromagnetism
Electromagnetism is a physical interaction that takes place in nature between objects that are electrically charged. If two particles have an electric charge, the exert an electric force between them that is exerted on one another by the electromagnetic field […]
