I am asking because I do it a lot and I am already getting addicted to it. I am 20, studying electrical/electronics engr in my final year (5yrs)
Please try to read this and your comments are very highly appreciated.
1.When I learnt of voltage and current, I begin to ask myself more and more questions and learn it at a very high intricate level. When I felt I have learnt ohms law very well, I was satisfied, but I still didn't stop thinking. When I see the wall socket, the plug, I continue to think, trying to conote what I ve seen in the textbook to real life.
When I learnt about capacitors and inductors, I had to start thinking about how what the textbook said is true, when you apply it here and there, how does it apply to different situations.
I thought about inductors at ac and dc and thought that there must be a correlation, how voltage and current increases and behaves, Infact I think everything.
And I begin to agitate when I reach stumbling bkocks. I argue with textbooks, ie I don't believe everyline there unless its to pass a test.
I then begin to think and ask Why is this this and not that. Its crazy
3. When I read a formula, I always think of the reason behind it, ootherwise my mind tells me deepdown that I don't know it.
Example is when I learnt of power factor, I was always thinking of whats the purpose of dividing real with apparent power. If not for the Internet, that will be part of the debates that keep me lost in thoughts.
Sometimes, it seems the knowledge is infinite.
When I am walking on the road, and I see the power transmission and distribution lines, I develop instances in my head, begin to ask myself how does the formula/what I have learnt apply and why does(nt) it apply. Does ohms law apply there, what voltage should I get at the transformer, does this correlate with the formulars with transformers?
Sometimes. people around my ask what is wrong with me.
Infact, i can read up a chapter in a text book and know all the formulars and definitions. The problem is that I feel I have not learnt it and I will still forget it. But the moment I take off the book and start thinking and asking why is this definition the same as this formula. How does it apply to this and that situation.
Its crazy in my head
Does anyone go through anything similar or is it because of my school that doesn't have good practicals? I don't know.
Your comments are welcome.
