I've used the fast track books for both my tech and general. However the math on the extra was well beyond my math background. Ordered the fastrack extra book, and got comfortable enough to take and pass my extra last week. To my surprise, my question pool did not contain a single math question! Glad I was prepared, and had the math confidence going into the exam.

Hi. I tried to google tan-1 ((250-500)/1000) and its .3894. Can you please calculate step by step because I'm a little confused right now. Thanks. BTW I thought that tan is the opposite side divided by adjacent side.

Hi. Pull out your trusty TI-30XS and go to about 12:14 in this video. I show keypress by keypress how to solve this one. It's also covered on page 155 in the course. Good luck with your studies!

I will have my General after I take the test on 08/12/2023 and I am already looking toward the Extra Class ticket. Why? Because as you said it stretches the mind and as a retired 70+yr old I need to keep stretching my mind and ham radio is a fun way for me to do that. I was a nerd in HS in the 60's, but couldn't learn code so I did CB radio instead. Learned some stuff and then got married, job the usual stuff, and left it behind. Now I come back and I am more engaged and committed to the technical side of the craft. You have been a big, huge, tremendous help in that regard. I just got the workbooks for General and Extra and will now dive into the math (not my strong suite) with gusto and LEARN it. 73 Alvin/KN6ZVI

The example of how to use the TI-30XS was invaluable. I know how to use some of those fancy keys now. Reminds of when I was trying to learn how to use my TI-83 graphing calculator in my college statistics class. I did and got a B in the class, but I no longer know how to use that device. Oh, and one of my math profs would take you to task for using that leading zero in front of the decimal point. He contended it was redundant and told the class (trig) never to use it, ever and so I don't and I cringe every time I hear or see the leading zero. It's just me. You're the prof here so if you use it then it's cool. After all it is your class. 73 Al/KN6ZVI

I would like to see more of the math involved at each step. I still don't know how much current (amperes) is flowing because I don't know the R of the lamps. Is there a way to find that out with out using a meter? Inquiring senior minds want to know.
@af7kbfasttrackhamradio50 Жыл бұрын
Hi, Alvin. This video is for teaching general principles -- leaving out the math was done very much on purpose. The point of this video is that the values don't matter when it comes to Kirchoff's Law. You are welcome to plug in any values you want for the lamps, but to demonstrate the points of the video, make them equal, then make one double the other. You could go for 10 ohms each, then 10 ohms for one and 20 ohms for the other, or 1,000,000 each, then 1,000,000 and 2,000,000. If you run your Ohm's Law calculations on them, the amounts of current will change, but the proportions will stay the same. For details on the math, check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKq6koWBZrpko8U Hope that helps!

Thank you AF7KB! I am testing in May in Hollister, CA and I am focusing on your Fast Track Program. The work is work but it fun work to me. I just wish you would only give the right answers and leave off the not right answers. I have 4 weeks to go and this video has reminded me of how I studied for all the ICC code certification I took (and passed on the first time each). I am committed to the Technicians test and passing in 4 weeks.

Welcome to ham radio and we're glad you're enjoying the learning. You'll find we do a lot of teaching off of the incorrect answers as well as the correct ones. We want to do more than have you pass your license exam -- we want you to actually know some stuff about this stuff so you can use it.

At time 2:14 Why use 6.28 for pi? I was taught in my electronics class that pi is 3.14 😮
@af7kbfasttrackhamradio50 Жыл бұрын
The formula is 2pi -- so, 2 x 3.14=6.28. 2pi shows up a lot in equations that deal with frequency.

The Voice is too much. It sounds unnatural and is distracting. Sorry, I'm sure you do a good job of explaining the subject matter but its annoying. If your channel is growing so fast why do you have less than 3000 subscribers after 5 years. Delta between when this video was uploaded and when I watched it.

This was very good! One thing though... that negative sign out in front of the tangent operator. I think that instead of indicating a reciprocal, as in 1/tan or something, it's more appropriate to call it the inverse tangent, or perhaps, it means the angle for which the tangent equals what is in the parentheses.

I don't give a rat's @$$ what "the research" says about highlighters. Tossing out unnecessary articles and conjunctions and focusing on the relevant words or characters that tend to become associated with each other without a person consciously trying to associate them; is what highlighters do. Moreover all that dull black text is like watching the lines on a highway for too. You become hypnotized until you pass out and crash. And just you know, I have an Advanced License , which means I had to learn all this DULL, TEDIOUS "Stuff" AND learn learn Morse code to 13 WPM to pass the General at the time. A good deal of this stuff is not useful. It's not relevant. In my side gig of computer system building and repair, I don't need to understand all the theory and procedure that goes into building a microprocessor in order to build or repair a computer system. I only need to know relevant and PRACTICAL aspects that make the process of installing the correct processor correctly AND not how to properly clean the Clean Room where chips are manufactured and most of ham radio is just this sort of unnecessary clutter. I know how to study for tests. I am in the midst of prepping for the Extra and I HATE IT and the subject matter but I am going to take that license exam and I AM going to pass it...Then toss all that ridiculous jargon and babble .

When we connect the resistor to Ac voltage source there is no phase difference angle in the circuit between current and voltage But when we connect an inductor to the same source the current delays from voltage by 90 phase difference angle because of the self induction in the inductor And when we connect a capacitor to the same source we find that the voltage delays from current by 90 phase difference angle because of charging and discharging process Give the reason
