Video: Finding the Capacitance of A Cylindrical Capacitor With Two Dielectric Materials

02 April 2012 Categories: Blog, How-To Videos

Catchy blog post title, right? This video is kind of a sequel to the last video I posted, in which I showed you how to find the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor. This video shows how to find the capacitance if there are two dielectric materials inside, each with a different dielectric constant. Check it out below. […]

Video: How To Find The Capacitance Of A Cylindrical Capacitor

26 March 2012 Categories: Blog, How-To Videos

I made this video to show how to find the capacitance of a cylindrical capacitor. This is a common AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism question. It also comes up in first-year college and university physics Electricity and Magnetism courses. Next week I’m posting a video on how to find the capacitance if there are two dielectric […]

Video: How to solve an Algebra II Equation with mixed terms (x and y multiplied together to make xy)

06 February 2012 Categories: Blog, How-To Videos

A lot of my students have trouble with algebra equations with “mixed” terms–when x and y are multiplied together to make an xy term, for example. But solving for a variable in this case follows the same rules as always in algebra. In this video, I walk through how to solve for a variable in […]
