This program covers the important topic of Electric Charge and Coulomb's Law in Physics. We begin by discussing what electric charge is and what coulomb's law is. We take time to introduce the units to the student so that there is no confusion as to what the problem is asking. The entire lesson is taught by working example problems beginning with the easier ones and gradually progressing to the harder problems. Emphasis is placed on giving students confidence in their skills by gradual repetition so that the skills learned in this section are committed to long term memory.
Physics is frequently one of the hardest subjects for students to tackle because it is a combination of two of the toughest subjects for most students - Math and Word Problems. The study of Electricity and Magnetism in Physics is challenging for most students because the concepts usually involve higher math that requires the problems to be fully understood prior to starting work. In addition, the concepts always involve invisible electric and magnetic fields which are hard to visualize for most students. The Physics 3 Tutor begins at the very beginning assuming students have never been exposed to this material and then proceeds to introduce new topics in an easy-to-understand manner. Teaches Capacitors, Capacitor Circuits, Resistance, Series/Parallel Capacitors, The Magnetic Field, Magnetic Force, Orbiting Particles and more! The Physics 3 Tutor is a complete 16 lesson series covering all of the core topics in detail. What sets this series apart from other teaching tools is that the concepts are taught entirely through step-by-step example problems of increasing difficulty. It works by introducing each new concept in an easy to understand way and using example problems that are worked out step-by-step and line-by-line to completion. If a student has a problem with coursework or homework, simply find a similar problem fully worked on in the series and review for the steps needed to solve the problem. Students will be able to work problems with ease, improve their problem-solving skills and understand the underlying concepts of Physics. This series is best used in order from Volume 1 through Volume 16. About Jason Gibson: Host Jason holds M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Physics from the University of Texas.
