    Physics on Khan Academy: Physics is the study of the basic principles that govern the physical world around us. We'll start by looking at motion itself. Then, we'll learn about forces, momentum, energy, and other concepts in lots of different physical situations. To get the most out of physics, you'll need a solid understanding of algebra and a basic understanding of trigonometry.
    About Khan Academy: Khan Academy offers practice exercises, instructional videos, and a personalized learning dashboard that empower learners to study at their own pace in and outside of the classroom. We tackle math, science, computer programming, history, art history, economics, and more. Our math missions guide learners from kindergarten to calculus using state-of-the-art, adaptive technology that identifies strengths and learning gaps. We've also partnered with institutions like NASA, The Museum of Modern Art, The California Academy of Sciences, and MIT to offer specialized content.

    This video is definition of how to teach...

    • @223Warlord
      @223Warlord 7 років тому +17

      what it teaches is too basic. I am an engineering student and i say this video is more suited for kids in high school. I have to actually integrate electric field multiply by the area of the capacitors and plug into the basic definition to obtain the equations i need to solve the actual problem. It is very intellectually and mentally taxing....
      Don't go into science and math if you dont like exercising your brains and solving logic puzzles....

      some of us are not going into engineering and would like a basic understanding of capacitors suitable for our curriculum. This video provides that perfectly. Engineering students should work on integrating and coming up with equations away from youtube videos so they can concentrate. Good luck, m8!

      @connerhartman9336 6 років тому +32

      Sometimes the best way to learn how to solve things like integration is by first understanding what integration is doing. The point is that, how can you expect to use the formulas properly if you dont know at the most basic level what those formulas are doing? I am an engineering student as well.
