The constraint

During the electromagnetism lecture, one question was posed regarding diamagnetism(diamagnetism is a phenomenon exhibit by some atom which causes the magnetic dipole to align against the applied magnetic field). Since the magnetic dipole is aligned against the field, isnt the atom taking up a less stable configuration since it has a higher potential energy. The professor reply was pretty nice, he said," Just like the book on the table, it has a higher potential energy than being on the floor, but given the following constraint, it is the most stable configuration." This is an explanation which i think can be extrapolated to most cases in our lives. For example, my fren was telling me he is not doing his best, but i replied, "ur best is the utmost u can do under the constraint you are in." This refreshes his mind and sort of solve his dilemma. This justifies again, physics is not merely about the intangible and esoteric stuff. It can be related to issues around us.... Then, that friend says "Ever since i know u, u never fail to impress me." It feels good to be able to offer insights to the people that needs it.

Recently during lecture, i have been observing how the lecturer is teaching the course and try to think of ways to improve it. If i were to become a lecturer in the future, i hope to be an interesting one that student will admire and look up upon, so need to think of ways to pave my way towards my goal. Also, i try to condense and synthesize the physics concepts and hope to give it in a unique yet complete and accessible perspective to the student. haha.... have been trying out this on my fellow friends, and it seems to work well.

This is a short post.....
