8:30 PM. Online office hours with blackboard.

Let's meet here at 8:30 PM tonight. You can ask questions here and I will respond in real time on a livestream procastor TV channel at http://www.livestream.com/zacksc
After about 8 PM that channel will show my blackboard. You can ask questions here in the comments. Maybe via the procastor channel as well, I am not sure.

  1. I'd be interested in doing something like this. Tonight around 8 or 9 would work well for me, I could also do tomorrow.

  2. Yes I would be interested in participating in something like this. Tonight works best, since tomorrow night is the 133 lab section.

  8. in class we discussed how the voltage difference affected the slope of the depletion zone, but does it do anything about the width?

  9. For 3d, you said KT = 0.025 meV. Did you mean 0.025 eV?

  10. Is this live stream recorded?

  11. In class, you talked about how having a resistor would cause the hill to flatten. I still don't quite understand why this happens. Could you please explain this again?

    1. Thank you, that clarifies things. When you wrote (-q)(-V), that made it easier to understand.

    2. Thank you. I'll wait for the next question.

  12. Im wondering about the load resistance and its relationship to open circuit voltage. On the IV diagram, it looks like it should be max voltage, but when you drew the diagram with no load resistor, the voltage was 0.

  13. In regard to question 4, are you going to go over lasers on Thursday? Also what do you mean by "battery polarity" in question 3b?

    1. Could you clarify "level of confidence" for 3b while you discuss it?

  14. In the solar cell, how does the system replenish itself if electrons in the junction are constantly being excited? Do the electrons drop in energy at the resistor and reunite with a hole on the p side?

    1. So what happens to the electron's energy?

    2. That makes sense thank you!

  15. there fore the p[olarity points twards the n junction

  16. feedback: it was pretty good. it would be cool if more questions were made beforehand. quality is OK.

    you can get to the chat only (without seeing your video stream along with it) on this link

    followed by entering zacksc

    1. Interesting. So there is a way to chat in that semi-transparent window, yes? Do you think that would be better?

      Delete
    2. Hmm. are you saying the video and chat are not integrated? I wonder if those comments would appear on my screen? (and then would be visible to everyone via my desktop being broadcast?

    3. the semi-transparent window is something different, i think, because we were chatting in it a little bit. the only downside to it is it probably has less permanence than on here. They are instant messages though, which might allow some more fluid discussion and questions, without the need for refreshing the page.

  18. Works really good. I like this a lot.

  19. The video quality was a little blurry but manageable, audio was fine. I really liked it, it was helpful.

  20. Yes, the video was really helpful
