Companions  \nCourse Companions have been prepared by teacherswho have detailed and first-hand experience ofexaminations and examining.They direct yourattention to those areas of the subject which mattermost,and which frequently cause confusion anddifficulties to students.  \nStudying involves far more than merely sittingdown and reading a book.Real study calls for muchmore active participation on the part of thestudent.Research shows that regular study andfrequent revision are of far greater value in learningthan last minute cramming.It is essential to worksteadily throughout your course,making sure thatyou understand each topic before moving on to thenext.To get the most out of these books you shouldfirst read that part which is relevant to the parti-cular topic you are studying.Making your ownnotes and diagrams can be of considerable assist-ance in re-inforcing what you read—the mere factof writing being a tremendous aid to memory.Working through the printed examples,stage bystage,and trying other examples,perhaps frompast examination papers,will also be extremelyuseful.  \nConcentrated attention is physically very tiring,and can therefore only be maintained for shortperiods of time.By emphasising vital parts of thesyllabus,Course Companions make study timemore effective.  \n# General Advice\n\nPhysics is a precise subject.It is concerned with precise relation-ships and uses precise language.  \nArchimedes'principle,for example,may be stated:  \n\"When a body is wholly or partly immersed in a fluid,then theupthrust on the body is equal to the weightof fluid displaced.\"Often in examination papers one comes across answers like:  \n\"The upthrust on a body equals the amount of water displaced.\"Notice how much better is the first definition.Firstly it uses theprecise word \"weight\"instead of the vague word\"amount\",whichcould be taken to mean mass,weight or volume.Secondly it refersto all the cases in which the principle may be applied-partly orwholly immersed,and in all fuids.The second definition suggeststhat the principle only applies to water.While the second definitionis not actually wrong,it would only score about one-quarter of themarks available in an examination question,because of its vague-ness.In general,do avoid using words like\"quantity\"and\"amount\"which are not precise.  \nIf a question asks you,for example,to state the relationshipbetween the length of a stretched wire and the frequency of thenote it produces when plucked,it would be true to say that thefrequency depends on the length.Again this is an imprecise state-ment,and,for full marks,the relationship should be stated pre-cisely,i","cbCaiaUqA53AQygY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaUqA53AQygY","pdf",3028752,100,"English","# General
