CIRCUIT SIMULATOR





AP=Advanced Playtime
Play with the Circuit simulator above.
  • describe the construction of your circuit and values in a post
  •  see if you can follow someone's recipe and get the same results






CORRECTION

AFTER CROSS REFERENCING SEVERAL SOURCES.

THERE IS A DISCREPANCY!  (SEE DIAGRAMS BELOW)


AP COLLEGE BOARD
  • WILL ALWAYS REFER TO THE LOWEST f AS THE  FUNDAMENTAL AND NOT AS A HARMONIC.
  • I ALSO CONFIRMED WITH MR. ROHALLY THAT THE HARMONICS ONLY OCCUR AFTER THE FUNDAMENTAL.  
CONCLUSION:
  •  TRUST WHAT YOU KNOW=======>"I AM THE QUEEN OF SCOTLAND"
  • TRY TO GOOGLE THIS AND FIND OUT WHAT YOU THINK...   
  • ARGUE FROM EVIDENCE SITE SOURCES

Objectives

After studying the material of this chapter, the student should be able to:
1. State from memory the magnitude and sign of the charge on an electron and proton and also state the mass of each particle.
2. Apply Coulomb's law to determine the magnitude of the electrical force between point charges separated by a distance r and state whether the force will be one of attraction or repulsion.
3. State from memory the law of conservation of charge.
4. Distinguish between an insulator, a conductor, and a semi conductor and give examples of each.
5. Explain the concept of electric field and determine the resultant electric field at a point some distance from two or more point charges.
6. Determine the magnitude and direction of the electric force on a charged particle placed in an electric field.
7. Sketch the electric field pattern in the region between charged objects.
8. Use Gauss's law to determine the magnitude of the electric field in problems where static electric charge is distributed on a surface which is simple and symmetrical.

Objectives

Sound and Waves:Please review other objectives previously covered below...

After studying the material of this chapter, you should be able to:
  • 1. Determine the speed of sound in air at one atmosphere of pressure at different temperatures.
  • 2. Distinguish between the following terms: pitch, frequency, wavelength, sound intensity, loudness.
  • 3. Determine intensity level in decibels of a sound if the intensity of the sound is given in W/m2.
  • 4. Explain how a standing wave can be produced in a wind instrument open at both ends or closed at one end and calculate the frequencies produced by different harmonics of pipes of a given length.
  • 5. Determine the beat frequency produced by two tuning forks of different frequencies.
  • 6. Explain how an interference pattern can be produced by two sources of sound of the same wavelength separated by a distance d.
  • 7. Solve problems involving two sources for m, d, λ, and the angular separation (θ) when the other quantities are given.
  • 8. Solve for the frequency of the sound heard by a listener and the wavelength of the sound between a source and the listener when the frequency of the sound produced by the source and the velocity of both the source and the listener are given.
  • 9. Explain how a shock wave can be produced and what is meant by the term "sonic boom."

 SHM===> Waves

After studying the material of this chapter, you should be able to:
  • 1. State the conditions required to produce SHM.
  • 2. Determine the period of motion of an object of mass m attached to a spring of force constant k.
  • 3. Calculate the velocity, acceleration, potential, and kinetic energy at any point in the motion of an object undergoing SHM.
  • 4. Write equations for displacement, velocity, and acceleration as sinusoidal functions of time for an object undergoing SHM if the amplitude and angular velocity of the motion are known. Use these equations to determine the displacement, velocity, and acceleration at a particular moment of time.
  • 5. Determine the period of a simple pendulum of length L.
  • 6. State the conditions necessary for resonance. Give examples of instances where resonance is a) beneficial and b) destructive. Explain how damped harmonic motion can be achieved to prevent destructive resonance.
  • 7. Distinguish between a longitudinal wave and a transverse wave and give examples of each type of wave.

  • 9. Calculate the energy transmitted by a wave, the power of a wave and the intensity of a wave, across a unit area A.
  • 10. Describe wave reflection from a barrier, refraction as the wave travels from one medium into another, constructive and destructive interference as waves overlap, and diffraction of waves as they pass around an obstacle.
  • 11. Explain how a standing wave can be produced in a string or rope and calculate the harmonic frequencies needed to produce standing waves in string instruments.
