How to Study Electricity Online

Hi, my name is Roland. Here is a good place to start

William J. Beaty's online tutorials are without compare. He does an excellent job, maybe the b est job, describing just what electricity is and is not.

Here is one of my favorite of his posts - just what are ohms, watts, amps, and volts


Here is a nice straight forward introduction to basic electronics

So many parents get so bogged down in the homework issue that they forget about the most important thing of all: the relationship. Relating to your child with love and understanding is a million times more important than any particular homework assignment. . How much homework did Einstein do? Who knows? Who cares? He did not do very well in school. So instead of homework, he was probably doodling and daydreaming. Does your child doodle and daydream? Maybe he or she is another Einstein. . Many people do not know that when Mozart was a kid, his dad took him on several long trips. His dad intuitively knew that music was important to his son. He took his little son to major music centers so that he could meet composers, perform, attend concerts and see operas. One trip, when Mozart was 7 years old lasted 3 years! He and his dad visited all the major music centers of Western Europe. . Another trip, when he was 11 years old, lasted 15 months. He got to meet Johann Christian Bac

So You Want to Study Geometry

I am in my 60's and I am studying calculus and kinematics. I need them for some advanced work I am doing. You have my permission to study both basic and advanced at the same time.   One moment I'm looking at the Introduction to Electromagnetism by Griffiths or The Evolution of Physics by Albert Einstein, and the next moment it's The Isaac Newton School of Driving or Barrons's AP Physics. Remember "learning is s'posed to be fun." You know what--I really have benefited from Youtube videos. For calculus, PatrickJMT, Dereck Owens, That Tutor Guy, and Dr. Schuster have been very helpful. For kinematics, Mrs. Twu and Bozeman Science. I watch a video or two, and then go to that section in my book. Then back to the videos again. And so on.   But how about geometry? Geometry is somewhat overlooked. But luckily, there is Khan Academy to the rescue. https://www.khanacademy.org/math/geometry For trig Patrickjmt again  and also ProfRobBob  for trig identities
