Well he usually give us problems where we have to derive our own equations to use. This one seemed too much like a plug and chug question considering that equation was all over the lecture and book. Thank you though!
Homework Statement
If IB and IC (IB = Base current and IC = Collector current) of bipolar junction transistor are 1mA and 100 mA respectively, determine its current amplification ratio in common emitter configuration.Homework Equations
IC=β*IB
Where β = current gain = \alpha/(\alpha-1) (is this...
Right on. If there's no pre-req conflicts go for modern physics. With that math under your belt you'll do okay. Remember though that engineering programs have a lot of intro engineering classes that are required to move along. Best thing to do is talk to an engineering advisor and explain to...
I don't know how you were able to take calc-based physics 2 without taking the first one but I wouldn't worry about taking calc-based physics 1 just cause you might have "missed out" on something crucial. It MIGHT have prepared you somewhat better. But if you got through physics 2 calc based...
The fact that you are on this forum shows you have what it takes.
First let me tell you a bit about myself. Throughout high school (graduated in 2011) I was placed in gifted/honors/AP classes throughout the four years. This included math and science classes. It turns out that my freshman year I...
Skim through this. It doesn't only apply to physics but academia in general. It's titled "How to Study Physics" written just after world war two during the golden age of physics.

Nope. Six easy pieces are the first six chapters of volume one of the FLP (Feynman Lectures On Physics). Its a bit pricey I know but being a physics major yourself I would just add it to this semester's textbook list. If money is a serious issue I would just get the PDF which can be found from a...
I have a total of 8 student .edu accounts available (from siblings and best friends) which gives me 4 years of free amazon student. We all make our own wish lists and pay with our own cards but same account . I LOVE 2 DAY SHIPPING!
If you have siblings in college or your spouse is enrolled give...
Feynman's Lectures on Physics. I'm guessing you've already heard of it considering the fact that you're a physics major. It provides THE BEST overview of most if not all topics and branches of physics. I'm currently a junior too and I'll tell you it is very challenging at points but very...
