Capacitor lab basics - Simulation

By Sandile MHlophe -


Topics

  • Parallel Plate Capacitor
  • Capacitance
  • RC Circuit
  • Circuits

Description

Explore how a capacitor works! Change the size of the plates and the distance between them. Change the voltage and see charges build up on the plates. View the electric field, and measure the voltage. Connect a charged capacitor to a light bulb and observe a discharging RC circuit.

Kudela Owaziyo - BP Maphumulo

By Sandile MHlophe -
 Umlingiswa ongummeleli emdlaweni othi, Kudela Owaziyo. ISINGENISO  Ummeleli ngumlingiswa oyiqhawe lomdlalo.  Indaba yonke incike kuye. Yize engekho kwezinye izehlakalo kodwa ziyamthinta ngandlela thize. Indaba yonke imayelana naye. Ubhekana nenkinga ethile ashikashikeke ezama ukuyixazulula. Kuyenzeka aphumelele noma ehluleke.

IMPI YABOMDABU ISETHUNJINI – JC Buthelezi

By Sandile MHlophe -
 ISINGENISO  Umyalezo yilokho umbhali asixwayisa noma aseluleka ngakho enovelini/yisifundo esitholakala uma sifunda inoveli. Umyalezo uchaza ukuthi umbhali ubehlose ukusazisani ngokubhala le ndaba. Umyalezo wale noveli uthi: Ukungawazisi umndeni wakho kuba nemiphumela engemihle empilweni yakho. UMZIMBA  UBafana  Ukuba yisifundiswa kukaBafana kwenza ukuba uBafana awubukele phansi/angawazisi umndeni wakhe. La maphuzu alandelayo akhombisa izinto ezenziwa uBafana ukungawunakekeli umndeni wakhe:  • UBafana uxosha umalume wakhe kabuhlungu uma ezocelela izingane zikaLinono indawo yokuhlala.  • Ukungazwani kukaBafana noPoppie kwenza u-Euthenasia eqe ekhaya.  • UBafana akanasikhathi sezingane zakhe.  • UBafana uba nomona ngokuzithuthukisa kukaPoppie ngokufunda umtshela nokuthi akayeke ukufunda.  • Ukuhluleka kukaBafana ukubhekana nezinkinga zasemzini wakhe kwamenza walifulathela ikhaya. Umphumela wokungawazisi umndeni empilweni kaBafana: • Udlala izin...

Wave interference - Simulation

By Sandile MHlophe -
  Topics Interference Double Slit Diffraction Waves Description Make waves with a dripping faucet, audio speaker, or laser! Add a second source to create an interference pattern. Put up a barrier to explore single-slit diffraction and double-slit interference. Experiment with diffraction through elliptical, rectangular, or irregular apertures. Sample Learning Goals Make waves with water, sound, and light and see how they are related. Design an experiment to measure the speed of the wave. Create an interference pattern with two sources, and determine the ways to change the pattern. Find points of constructive and destructive interference by eye and by using the detectors. Put up a barrier to see how the waves move through one or two slits. What sort of pattern do the slits create? How can you change this pattern? For light, predict the locations of the fringes that appear on the screen using d sin(θ) = mλ. Use the tape measure to verify your predictions. Explain how the aperture geo...

Segregation during apartheid in South Africa.

By Sandile MHlophe -
The significance of race and ethnicity in the separation amongst individuals during the years of apartheid. Posted by   Sikhanyisiwe Mkhonto Race and Ethnicity are terms that are used interchangeably by the society. Studies have been conducted in trying to find ways to define these terms. Race is a term that has a variety of meanings attached to it. However, the main idea of it all is that this word categorises people into groups that share a historical origin, characteristics and physical traits (MacEachern, 2012: 34-35). Ethnicity means collective identity. This implies that individuals share a tradition that help shape their culture, plays a role in identifying themselves and distinguishes them from other ethnic groups. For example, an ethnic group have the same language in which they communicate in, they share similar ways of dressing, eating and even celebrating. One could be of the same ethnic group; however, their skin colours differ (Antweiler, 2015: 26). In this essay ...

 BENGITHI LIZOKUNA – NG Sibiya Umbuzo: Xoxa ngempumelelo yombhali ekudluliseni umyalezo othi: 'Izinqumo esizithathayo ngempilo yethu zingaba nemiphumela engemihle empilweni yethu neyabanye abantu' ubhekise kulaba balingiswa: uMhlengi/Mahlengi, uNontobeko, uXolani, noNgidi kule noveli ethi, Bengithi Lizokuna. ISINGENISO Umyalezo yilokho umbhali asixwayisa noma aseluleka ngakho enovelini/yisifundo esitholakala uma sifunda inoveli. Umyalezo uchaza ukuthi umbhali ubehlose ukusazisani ngokubhala le ndaba. Umyalezo wale noveli umayelana nokuthi izinqumo esizithathayo ngempilo yethu zingaba nemiphumela engemihle kwabanye abantu nakithina uqobo. Ohlolwayo angasebenzisa la maphuzu alandelayo namanye amayelana nomyalezo kule noveli.

Break Up

By -
Khumalo Hendricks and I are no longer an item, as if this month could not get any worse. First the robbery now a break up, The reason is simple, our energies did not align anymore. I am no longer the same person I was prior the trauma and he just could not handle the change. We just drifted apart and no longer felt each others vibe. Anyways, such is life he was a great guy. I still haven't gone to therapy regarding my trauma, I do not know perhaps I am scared of being vulnerable and out in the open. Oh well we shall see, maybe next month I sure will give it a try.  Still practicing gratitude though, I am grateful to be alive an experience the blessing that is life itself. Until next time, bye.
