Dr. Baird and Two Physics Students Publish in the Physics Teacher
Dr. Bill Baird (physics) and Caleb Richards and Pranav Godbole (undergraduate physics majors) have published a paper in the journal "The Physics Teacher". The paper, titled Advanced Imaging of Elementary Circuits, was published in the December 2012 edition of the journal, volume 50, page 561. The paper describes how simple electrical circuits can be imaged using a high speed camera and / or a thermal imager. This project helps students make physics concepts like current and voltage more familiar and easier to understand.
