Shortest Distance Between a Point and a Line How do I find the shortest distance from a point to a line? The shortest distance from any point to a line will always be the perpendicular distance Not...
Capacitor Charge & Discharge Graphs Charging Capacitors are charged by a power supply (eg. a battery) When charging, the electrons are pulled from the plate connected to the positive ter...
Energy Stored by a Capacitor When charging a capacitor, the power supply pushes electrons from the positive to the negative plate It therefore does work on the electrons and electrical energ...
The scalar product is one method of multiplying vectors which results in a scalar and has uses when working with vectors and lines. The vector product is a different method, which results in a vect...
Coincident, Parallel, Intersecting & Skew Lines How do I tell if two lines are parallel? Two lines are parallel if, and only if, their direction vectors are parallel This means the direction ve...
