Educational/training institutions

Educational/training institutions

1 . University

Courses are more theoretical.

A university training is suitable for the abstract thinker who is looking for a broader knowledge foundation on which to build.

Most professional vocations require university study (doctor, dentist, lawyer, teacher, etc.).

There are strict minimum requirements for admission, and each department has its own requirements.

Matriculation exemption is required.

Degrees and diplomas are obtained at a university.

2 . Technikon

Emphasis is on both theory and practice.

Training for most specialized vocations can be done at a technikon.

Diplomas and technical degrees can be obtained.

Matriculation exemption is not necessary for admission.

Each department has its own entrance requirements.

3 . College

A college is for the person who would like to obtain an academic qualification, but who wants to develop technical skills that are required by the labour market at the same time.

Courses are both theoretical and practical.

Entrepreneurship forms part of most courses.

Certificates and diplomas can be obtained.

Matriculation exemption is not required for admission.

What is matriculation exemption?

  • Learning areas for matric can be on higher Grade or Standard Grade.
  • Higher grade subjects are calculated out of 400, and demand a great deal of insight.
  • Higher grade subjects require 40% for a pass.
  • Standard grade subjects count out of 300 and are based to a great degree on reproducing knowledge.
  • Standard grade subjects require 33,3% for a pass.
  • One needs the following subject combination for matriculation exemption:
  • Two official languages, both on HG.
  • Two more subjects on HG, both from groups other than the languages
  • In other words, 4 HG subjects from 3 different groups
  • The 6 subjects must be selected from 4 different groups
  • Ask the guidance teacher to explain the groups (A-F) of the subjects that are offered at your school.

Questions & Answers

Three charges q_{1}=+3\mu C, q_{2}=+6\mu C and q_{3}=+8\mu C are located at (2,0)m (0,0)m and (0,3) coordinates respectively. Find the magnitude and direction acted upon q_{2} by the two other charges.Draw the correct graphical illustration of the problem above showing the direction of all forces.
Kate Reply
To solve this problem, we need to first find the net force acting on charge q_{2}. The magnitude of the force exerted by q_{1} on q_{2} is given by F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}} where k is the Coulomb constant, q_{1} and q_{2} are the charges of the particles, and r is the distance between them.

What is the direction and net electric force on q_{1}= 5µC located at (0,4)r due to charges q_{2}=7mu located at (0,0)m and q_{3}=3\mu C located at (4,0)m?

what is a capacitor?
Raymond Reply
Capacitor is a separation of opposite charges using an insulator of very small dimension between them. Capacitor is used for allowing an AC (alternating current) to pass while a DC (direct current) is blocked.

which has a higher temperature, 1cup of boiling water or 1teapot of boiling water which can transfer more heat 1cup of boiling water or 1 teapot of boiling water explain your . answer
Ramon Reply
I believe temperature being an intensive property does not change for any amount of boiling water whereas heat being an extensive property changes with amount/size of the system.
Someone
Scratch that
Someone
temperature for any amount of water to boil at ntp is 100⁰C (it is a state function and and intensive property) and it depends both will give same amount of heat because the surface available for heat transfer is greater in case of the kettle as well as the heat stored in it but if you talk.....
Someone
about the amount of heat stored in the system then in that case since the mass of water in the kettle is greater so more energy is required to raise the temperature b/c more molecules of water are present in the kettle
Someone

Two bodies attract each other electrically. Do they both have to be charged? Answer the same question if the bodies repel one another.
JALLAH Reply
No. According to Isac Newtons law. this two bodies maybe you and the wall beside you. Attracting depends on the mass och each body and distance between them.
Dlovan
Are you really asking if two bodies have to be charged to be influenced by Coulombs Law?

What is specific heat capacity
Destiny Reply
Specific heat capacity is a measure of the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin). It is measured in Joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C).
