7 July 2013 Brain regions where ideas become contagious identified by Will Parker How do ideas spread? Why do some videos go viral? UCLA scientists have taken a first step toward answering these questions by identifying the brain regions associated with the successful spread of ideas. The research‚ reported in the journal Psychological Science‚ has broad implications and could lead to more persuasive advertisements and better ways for teachers to communicate with students. The study suggests

COMMON MISTAKES AND HOW TO AVOID THEM Phy X: ELECTRICITY 1. Topic Direction of flow of current. Common slips made Confusion between direction of flow of current and direction of movement of electrons Confusion in use of symbols- Is ampere written as A or amp. V=W/Q is often remembered wrongly. In questions where you have to check the resistance from the graph see what is plotted along the x and y axis. Reason why alloys are used to make elements of electric irons and heaters is not because
