    How to properly describe the validity of an experiment?

    could you give me an example of such an experiment please? :)

    How to properly describe the validity of an experiment?

    okay, but my other question still stands - can an experiment be valid but inaccurate?

    How to properly describe the validity of an experiment?

    Can you say an experiment is 'moderately valid' as it contains features of both a valid and invalid experiment, is it only acceptable to say it is either valid or invalid? Also, can an experiment be valid but inaccurate?

    Is there something about 9V batteries that I don't know about?

    I connected a 3V battery pack to a 6V battery pack in series and the motor runs just fine, with decent RPM; + the coil doesn't feel warm so i don't think overheating or too much current is the problem. Also, the coil is enameled so it shouldn't be short circuiting. :/

    Is there something about 9V batteries that I don't know about?

    So I've built this DC motor for my Physics assignment. It runs perfectly fine on a 6V battery pack and 3V battery pack but doesnt seem to work on a 9V rectangular battery (with battery snap); well, the coil moves slightly so it seems that there's minimal current going through the coil. However...

    A magnet was run along my laptop and now the screen won't light up

    Yes I tried turning it on and off again... still nothing happens. I tried the brightness buttons as well but they don't work, implying that the magnet dislodged its mechanism or something.....

    A magnet was run along my laptop and now the screen won't light up

    My idiot cousin ran a fridge magnet along my laptop and now he screen brightness turned off and won't turn back on, even after restarting many times. Everything else works normally and the screen is still on - it's just that there's no brightness (I can see the screen by shining a flashlight on...

    Calculating heat lost (transmission lines)?

    Okay thanks for the help guys!! :D

    Calculating heat lost (transmission lines)?

    uhh, so am I correct? :confused2:

    Calculating heat lost (transmission lines)?

    Okay guys, so based on the info given, I have deduced the stuff below. Can you guys just verify that it's all correct? Thanks :D Ohm’s Law: V = IR where V = voltage (drop in EPE per Coulomb of charge due to resistance) I = current flowing through resistor R = resistance of resistor...

    Calculating heat lost (transmission lines)?

    I understand the qualitative explanation, but not the quantitative derivation. From what I've seen, P = I^2R is derived from P = VI and V = IR (Ohm's Law). Substituting Ohm's Law into P = VI gives P = I^2R, but I don't understand why P now gives you 'power loss' instead of 'total power'.
  14. EpaX

    Calculating heat lost (transmission lines)?

    so we know the derivation of P_total = VI, but how about P_loss = I^2R?

    please estimate my ATAR!!

    wtf your whole grade does ext 1, and more than two thirds do ext 2?? Is this Ruse??

    Can't stop thinking about studies DURING sleep

    Ok thanks for the advice guys :)

    Can't stop thinking about studies DURING sleep

    Hey all. I'm a year 12 student who, you could say, studies more than the average person (~4 hours a weekday). Recently I've been deprived of sleep because I can't get my mind off my studies during sleep - I'm literally doing calculations in my head or thinking of work from a certain subject. As...

    What does A+C mean??

    I'm not certain if the 80.00 ATAR is for B Aviation (Flying). <http://www.science.unsw.edu.au/future-students/bachelor-aviation-management> Here it says that B Aviation (Management) ATAR cutoff is 80.00. But for B Aviation (Flying) it doesn't say anything here...
