Your physics textbook, remembered
Physics chapters are short on words and long on relationships: what happens to one quantity when another changes. That's exactly what the problems on the exam test.
The kind of question you get
Doubling the distance between two charges ___ the force between them.
- quarters (right)
- halves
- doubles
Why: by Coulomb's law the force falls with the square of the distance, so twice as far means a quarter of the force.
How it works
- Scan the pages you're assigned, or import your textbook's PDF. Using a free OpenStax textbook? Download its PDF and import it.
- Every chapter becomes something you can finish: a short read of what matters, and the full read when you need it. In a PDF, equations stay equations.
- A concept map of how the chapter's ideas affect each other.
- Questions about how it works, written from each chapter, with wrong answers that are wrong for a reason.
- A few minutes a day. Each question comes back just before you'd forget it, so the chapter is still there on exam day.
- Listen on the way to class, with each line lit as it's read.
