The simplest route to take when converting any number from denary to another number system is to first convert it to binary. The method for binary conversion is to divide the number in question by 2 repeated...

A metal has free electrons, so when it is heated these electrons gain kinetic energy, meaning they move faster. As a result, these free electrons will collide with other electrons or ions, transferring energ...

x 2 +x-6=y Is the equation we will use to demonstrate how to factorise quadratics. The first step involves using the basic shape of all quadratic factorisation: ax 2 +bx+c=y x 2 +x-6=y (Cx+A)(Dx+B)=y We must...

e (x ^2+2) =f(x)=y Is the equation we will use to demonstrate correct use of the chain rule. The equation at the core of the chain rule is: dy/dx=dt/dx*dy/dt Seeing that dt as a numerator and dt as a denomin...

Effective Nuclear Charge is the net positive nuclear charge experienced by a valence electron orbiting the positively charged nucleus in an atom. Effective nuclear charge is redcued by: -increased distance b...
