1. "Axial is Always twice" (A = 2) E_axial = 2kp/ vs E_equatorial = kp/ — "Axial" and "two" both start with sounds from the alphabet beginning. The A in Axial reminds you of 2 (looks like a tent with two legs).
2. "CaPS vs ReSiP" — Capacitor/Resistor Series-Parallel flip
- Capacitors: Parallel = Sum (C_eq = +); Series = Reciprocal (1/C_eq = 1/+1/)
- Resistors: Series = Sum (R_eq = +); Parallel = Reciprocal (1/R_eq = 1/+1/)
- They are exactly opposite — CaPS vs ReSiP.
3. "VQ-CV Rule" for dielectric insertion
- Battery V-Connected → V constant, C increases
- Battery Q-Disconnected → Q constant, V decreases
4. "WPC" for Gauss's law E-field dependence
- Wire → E ∝ 1/r (cylindrical)
- Plane → E = constant (planar)
- Conducting sphere → E ∝ 1/ (spherical) Order of decreasing r-dependence: 1/ > 1/r > constant.
5. "NECA" — Properties of charge
- Not destroyable (Conservation)
- Equal units only (Quantization, q = ne)
- Combines algebraically (Additive)
- Attracts opposites, repels likes
6. "PLANO" — Potential on different dipole lines
- Polar axis (axial): V = kp·cosθ/ → non-zero
- Perpendicular (equatorial): V = 0 (zero) Remember: equatOriAL = zerO (the O in zerO matches equatOriAl).
