nice course! I will be using it : ) I have one criticism, I have no Omega symbol on my keyboard! so I had to rush of and copy one of the internet

Hi @lurajane
Thanks for taking the time to write your post - you have a knack for giving clear explanations.
I find this stuff very interesting, and I like the slides you linked.
From your comments, it sounds like the source document used by the course author
( @Mahirislam ) uses the fundamental equation ( E=QV ) rather than the energy stored in a capacitor ( E=QV/2 ) - which is probably more important in practical circuits.
I’m going to suggest to Mahir that he might want to include the Web address of the source document in his course description. That way, there would be less likelihood of confusion.
Hi Mahir,
If you’re simply dealing with the movement of a charge through an electric field, then
the equation ( E=QV ) is correct.
However, if you’re looking at a circuit containing a capacitor, the stored energy in
the capacitor will be ( E=QV/2 ), where V is the potential difference across the capacitor.
Since your course has the title “Circuit Equations (basic)” I’ve been assuming you would
probably want the second definition.
To remove any doubt, I’d suggest pasting the Web address of the source document you’ve used (if available) into course course description. That way, users will be able to confirm exactly what each equation refers to.
On a separate topic, I think your second power equation in Level 3 should read
( P=I^2 x R ). So, you should probably consider changing the “+” sign to a “x” sign. Just a minor typo, I think.
This is an excellent course by the way - it’s going to help a lot of people.
Hi @Arete_Hime
That’s an interesting post and it made me smile - it’s really quite poetic, only mildly offensive and includes a quote from an ancient philosopher as well as a gambling metaphor.
But the general content of the post is, of course, rather silly - I have to assume that you were just joking around, with the overall aim of being entertaining.
I’m wondering if you’ve written other similiar posts - if so, could you provide links to them here?
I don’t get why you had to create a huge argument over the unintentional exclusion of an equation.
