Electrical engineering is often regarded as the toughest
branch in engineering.Its mostly because of the fact that physical view most
the things we are dealing with here are difficult to perceive.
But achieving this difficult task is what which makes the difference.
The entire syllabus covers a lot of formulas.Just memorizing these and having a mathematical approach to the branch is okay.But instead of memorizing if u try to give a physical meaning to these it becomes interesting,u get the real concept and u need not do lot of strain in memorizing and concepts helps in long term memory.
A simple example is, RESISTANCE=RESISTIVITY*(LENGTH /AREA)
U try to visualize what is resistance,it is the resistance to flow of electrons in a conductor.If length is more larger is the number of collisions since electrons travel in a zigzag manner hence resistance is more.Similarly think about area,larger area probability of collision lesser.Resistivity is a material property and indicates non availability of free electrons,hence is directly linked with resistance.
Understanding this way is much more interesting and easier than simple memorization of formulas.It helps u to go deeper into the subject.
However as we move on we come across a lot of differential calculus,trigonometry etc and physical conceptualization of these requires a lot of brain work.U starts thinking and searching for proofs ,it is the very essence of studying engineering.
U keeps on asking WHY HOW WHY.Yes it should be the chantings of an engineer.
