anything electrical to be honest, the subject is fascinating, but ideally electronic products or electrical machines etc. I just want to improve my employability and not just have to stick to applying for electronic roles, even though that would be the preferred career path, I’d like to apply...

I’ll sum it up and make it a bit more digestible; Electronics & Mechanical Electronics & Physics Electronics & Software

TL;DR Summary: Which path would be best. Physics or mechanical for electrical engineering. My uni doesn’t offer electrical engineering but offers electronics engineering. Looking for advice from anyone in industry or similar. I’m on an open STEM degree and I’m following the electronics...

Thank you and your comment is definitely welcome here. I myself have changed degree from physics to engineering. I still love learning about the theory behind things and I am looking forward to eventually learning about cosmology. But I am a practical person and love making use of maths and...

Thank you, that’s a brilliant answer, I’ll keep plodding on with Griffiths for now then go for an applied textbook 👍

I fully stand by what I said. I have never posted the same question, one is asking if SR is needed for purcells book and the other is asking the prerequisites for an applied E&M book. I got Griffiths instead as I found a cheap Asian copy on Amazon. I ask questions on here as I mostly self...

How can you presume I don’t follow the advice. I usually do, I purchased and have started to read Griffiths E&M as it was recommended. But this is an engineering post not physics as my previous posts where in. Most people on the engineering thread seem to be a lot more friendly and offer sound...

I’ve had a few people recommend me that book, heard good things of it. I think, as I have the book on my shelf, I’m going to read through Griffiths first then go for an applied textbook

Thank you for the advice. So would you say that Griffiths is less advanced or its at a similar level but just covers stuff in more detail?

Thank you, I actually had a quick look at the online version of the book to see the contents etc. i have just started reading Griffiths electrodynamics but I do like applications of physical concepts, I could maybe read Griffiths first. This is the problem when you like both physics and...

It’s a little more difficult to build up an intuition compared to mechanics isn’t it. You can almost picture every detail of the situation when reading a mechanics text, I think with E&M that might come with time, hopefully, there definitely seems to be more of a reliance on analogies, like...

I would like to tackle E&M from a more applied perspective, my maths background is calculus 1, 2 & 3, basic differential equations, basic linear algebra etc. physics background i have completed intro physics that involved very basic circuits etc but nothing major in the sense of applied...

Thank you that helped a lot. I attempt the problems quite a bit after I learnt about that method of finding the pressure. Hopefully I’ll remember it 😃

So here’s the question (I am only talking about the pressure at point B, the other 2 I can understand.) And here is the solution Here is what I am not understanding, why is the pressure due to the water negative and the oil positive, and why are all measurements only made from where the...

at the bottom where it says equation 6.35, the magnitude of C, how do we get from equation 6.34 to 6.35? I separated the fraction into 2, one with a real part and the other imaginary and tried taking the magnitude then and didn't come up with the same as in the book. Can someone help show me...
