Sec 4 Physics Reflections 27/01/13 – Applications of Electrostatics
I wanted to proceed to Current Electricity, but the students wanted more discussion on how to answer application questions on electrostatics.
So I supplied them with quite a number of such application questions, often with confusing diagrams. The key to answering such questions is to first draw the distribution of charges on the items in the diagram, and identify which objects are conductors and which are non-conductors. For the conductors, check whether they are insulated from the surroundings.
Key points to note:
(1) Only non-conductors can be charged by rubbing (why?)
(2) Electrons can flow into and out of only conductors, and only when the conductors are in contact with other conductors (why?)
(3) A charged object can attract a neutral conductor (why?) and a charged object can also attract a neutral non-conductor (why?)
(4) Upon contact with a highly charged object, a conductor behaves differently from a non-conductor (why?)

Sec 4 A. Math Reflections 26/01/13 – Quotient Rule
I introduced Quotient Rule to the class last week so today we continued with it. Quotient Rule is actually very easy to use and should not be replaced by the Product Rule, even though it’s very convenient for students to write a fraction as a product of two terms.
What students find difficult is in simplifying the resulting expression, which often consists of fractions within fractions, with some terms having a square root sign over it. Of course there is a ‘trick’ to get the factorisation done quickly and correctly, but it’s too cumbersome for me to demonstrate here. More importantly, this difficulty that students often face highlights the point that I’ve posted earlier, that Sec 1 and Sec 2 Algebra is VERY IMPORTANT.
For the next lesson, I’ll be going into the Second Derivative as well as Application of Differentiation to curves, tangents and normal. We may be covering the Chain Rule if we have time.
