high frequency high voltage transformer

> (ii) There is a decrease in gain at low frequencies. (iii) At high frequencies, the distributed capacitance between different turns of windings acts as a bypass capacitor. The output voltage decreases. Hence the gain decreases. There is ..

"High school physics" Questions & Answers

From Yahoo Answers

Question : I am currently working on completing my bachelors of science in physics and I realized that I have an opportunity to get a license to teach physics in high school. The thought of being a physics high school teacher is kind of exciting because I would have a chance to share my interest of physics with students (I am sure that not all students will love physics as much as me). I also like helping people which may make this a good career choice. Then I would also greatly enjoy having the summer..

Answer : I teach HS physics part of the day...I only have about 15-20 students brave enough to take it...it is quite a bit of work, but not as much as you might think...if you are creative, many demonstration devices can be built for physics classes...In class we discuss concepts, work problems, do labs and 'play' with instructive equipment...The classes are small and the students are upper classmen...they are definitely more mature than their peers and it is possible to have meaningful discourse in class...I spend about 5-8 hours a week doing the extra work for those classes: grading, planning, and getting organized...about 1/3 of my students really 'connect' with the material, I wish they all would...mostly its just a matter of not working hard enough...I typically get about 8 weeks a summer 'off'...although I usually do about 4-5 weeks of school related work... personally, I always recommend taking a bunch of sociology and psych classes(they are more interesting and relevant than ed courses..

Question : I want to take physics in high school. I am a 10th grader and I am going to take algebra 2 this year. Do you need Pre-cal? Also, what other prerequisite do you need to take Physics? Do you need chem?

Answer : Ill be a junior next year, and Im taking physics. I took algebra 2 last year, so algebra 2 should be sufficient for general calculations. I took chemistry my sophomore year and biology freshman, chemistry is a nice stepping stone to go to physics, if you enter physics right away it may be overwhelming.
