The Electric Field from a Uniformly Charged Rod - A Physics Problem Solved
YouTube video by Physics Problems Solved by Paul Lake: PhysicsPAL The Electric Field from a Uniformly Charged Rod - A Physics Problem Solved

I have a YouTube channel where I solve physics problems I get from my tutoring clients. If you know anyone studying physics have them check out my channel and if they need a tutor, send me a private message. Check out my latest video I made this afternoon:

Federal agents are pulling over off duty cops based on the color of their skin.

This is not a serious operation to enforce immigration law. It’s a performative show of force and it’s gotten way out of hand.

This is Trump working directly with Ghislaine Maxwell, as if she, Trump and Epstein we’re all in it together.

Any chance you and @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social making more podcasts? Especially when Rubin Observatory results start coming in. Still my favorite astrophysics podcast I’ve ever listened to.

The GOP Wants to Give Big Oil a Handout It Doesn’t Need Lawmakers are proposing giveaways to fossil-fuel producers that would cost the US $17.9 billion over a decade.

For those keeping score, the Senate Bill adds $18 billion in new handouts for Big Oil.

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

I have a little side business tutoring students online in physics and math. Please pass along the link in the comments below. And if you would like to see what my teaching style is like, here’s my latest physics example problem worked out on my YouTube Channel. youtu.be/vbI9WelPxF8?...

The CFPB Has Been Gutted The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau terminated the positions of 1,406 employees at the congressionally mandated agency.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

I bought mine 6 years ago, I finally paid it off and it’s a great car, so please don’t break it. You can throw Elon into the bay. That’ll do more good.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.

This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.
