Any tips ?? Remembering formula

[Paddy4444]

Hey I’m studying 2365 at college and I’m at the science part now .. any tips on remembering formula or is it just a case of going over and over it till it’s in your head .. any help much appreciated

 

[telectrix]

maybe do some practice calculations, over an dover. eventually remembering formulae becomes as easy as remembering you own name and address. now who the hell am I, and where do I live?

 

[Paddy4444]

Haha that’s what I thought .. I’ll hit the books

 

[plugsandsparks]

hands are very useful

 

[Paddy4444]

Haha my hands will be sweating so that’s a no go .. arms though

 

[telectrix]

paddy, if you are studying, apply for access to the trainees forum. plenty of help there when you won't get bolloxed for any daft questions.

 

[Paddy4444]

Yeah I will apply thanks .. don’t mind being ripped to be honest .. I’m up for the craic

 

[telectrix]

you don't get ripped in the trainee section. we treat you like puppies till you get onto solids.

 

[Paddy4444]

That’s awfully kind .. I’ll be sure to apply later .. can’t wait for my doggie biscuit

 

[telectrix]

meanwhile, stick to your formula milk..

I could pm you if you like!

 

[Paddy4444]

Haha touché..

now that would spoil the surprise

I’m currently doing 2365 L2 and get the impression that things get over complicated especially around ohms law and relationship to power as you get overloaded with variants of the same formula. If you are confident in transposing the formula it saves a lot of time rote learning.

Hey paddy I believe we are in the same position !

I started my level 2 in September and have been going over and over the theory as telectrix stated and believe it or not it does start to sink in

Maybe we could have some theory questions based on formula suitable for “level 2 students”
From some of the more experienced guys!

Just a thought.....

So far we have covered powers, ohms law triangle, power triangle, working out energy, work done, but the hardest for me is deffo transposition!

I have looked at some of the electrical design questions on the trainee section! But they are a little advanced for me at the moment!

But I still read it to get a flavour for real life scenarios
