Mechanics

Newton's 2nd Law

F=d(mv)dt=maF=\frac{d(mv)}{dt}=ma

Work Energy

W=dsCFds=FsW=\int_{ds \in C}F \cdot ds=F \cdot s

Power

P=dWdt=Wt=Fv  or  τωP=\frac{dW}{dt}=\frac{W}{t}=F\cdot v ~~or~~ \tau\cdot \omega

where τ\tau is the torque and ω\omega is the angular velocity.

Electricity

Ohm's Law

V=IRV=IR

Power

P=VI=(WQ)(Qt)P=VI=(\frac{W}{Q})\cdot (\frac{Q}{t})

Where WQ\frac{W}{Q} is the definition of voltage and Qt\frac{Q}{t} is the definition of current.

Multimeter

Voltage Measurement

  • VV\sim is to measure AC voltage.

  • and the below icon is to measure DC voltage

Tips

  1. Will we be given a breadboard and ask how to connect them to measure the current or voltage?
