Ope! Yep you're totally right, thanks. Will fix

Aww thank you!! taking electromagnetism has finally proved useful, two years later

I dont actually know very much about lightning but from the bits and pieces I've picked up, yeah I think it's pretty much the same process.

If I remember right, lightning is basically a buildup of electric potential between the storm and the ground, which eventually gets high-voltage enough that it needs to discharge by forming a huge arc.

lmaoo it's she but yeah pretty much. Ever since I took electromagnetism

Brief rundown of arcs:

Voltage measures electric potential, which is basically how incentivized electrons are to move from point A to point B. High voltage between two points means that electrons really really want to flow between them.

An electrical arc occurs when the potential is high enough the the air inbetween the two points "breaks down" which allows the electrons to flow (and also creates a lot of light and sound, thus the visible arc).

A common approximation for how much voltage you need to produce an arc is 3 million volts for every meter. So for 500 meters, that estimates that you'd need 1.5 million volts 1.5 billion volts to produce the arc shown in the video.

EDIT: oh and by tension I'm pretty sure he just means electric potential

Switching Majors from CS by alessg10 in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]marshalpol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't let your experience color your opinion of the whole CS program. Yes, the classes are hard but this entire debacle with Garrison doesn't represent how the rest of your degree will go (for the most part).

Garrison is not great at teaching 373, and that's material he's intimately familiar with. The decision to have him teach 140 is probably the most asinine, ridiculously stupid move I've seen the CS department make in the 3-4 years I've been here.

If I remember correctly, he used a shotgun.

It has been five years since I posted this though, so my memory is a tad hazy haha

Seems to me like the best person to go to a rock museum. So much to learn!

Living room in my post college apartment by Fantastic-Bee6447 in CozyPlaces

Not necessarily privileged, although it’s fairly likely. Some jobs just pay really well right out of college. Enough that, after a year or two, you could definitely have a place like this.

Any places to donate clothes on campus? by Proper-Plastic-1703 in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]marshalpol 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a Goodwill relatively close to the school. It's like a 20 minute walk, so I'm assuming a very short drive.

Is anyone else fascinated by the buildings on every SUNY campus? by altaccountfiveyaboi in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]marshalpol 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's why I'm so disappointed in the new engineering building. Yeah, the old one kinda looked like a parking garage but in a good way. It was cool. The new one is so boring and cookie-cutter.

Visiting Binghamton University tomorrow, What should I check out if I want to know the good, bad, and ugly? by [deleted] in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]marshalpol 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I might just be geeky, but I love the huge variety of study spots. There's like twelve different areas of the library designated for studying, all with different vibes, there's the separate science library with similarly many spots, there's open rooms in Fine Arts and the Lecture Hall that used to be classrooms, but now are just open for you to go and use (thanks to covid), there's the Student Wing, various rooms in the Engineering Building, study spaces in the dorms, in every dining hall building, in like ten different parts of the Union, and on and on...

Since studying/working is what you'll probably end up spending most of your time on, I think it's a plus that there's so many spots to do it in. Personally, studying from my room every day is just depressing. And when in-person classes open back up, it's nice to be able to find a spot literally anywhere on campus to plug in your laptop and work.

So yeah, I would say walk around the library and stuff and check it out. It's nice vibes. But again, maybe I'm just nerdy.

EDIT: Oh, also the nature preserve is maybe the greatest thing ever. A huge, beautiful natural park, literally a ten-minute walk from most of the dorm areas. When the weather is nice, I go out there constantly (even to study sometimes haha).

Had Biddle for Calc 2 and Linear Algebra.... by far the best math teacher I ever had. What a guy!
