The double nature of material particles, i.e., their wave and corpuscular characteristics, is usually considered incomprehensible, as it cannot be represented visually. It proposed to the student, in introductory courses, a fact justified by quantum interference experiments for which, however, no further analysis possible. On this note, we propose description function terms simple electrical an...

This paper is concerned with the demonstration of an analogy between classical electrical circuits and computer systems with executing programs. The analogy is based on a Markov process framework for the mathematical formulation. The transition weights represent a set of measure one although they are not necessarily probabilities in the stochastic sense. Examples are included to show the analog...

Mie scattering is an optical phenomenon that appears when electromagnetic waves, in particular light, are elastically scattered at a spherical or cylindrical object. A transfer of this phenomenon onto electron states in ballistic graphene has been proposed theoretically, assuming a well-defined incident wave scattered by a perfectly cylindrical nanometer scaled potential, but experimental finge...

Teaching complex engineering problems can often be enhanced by utilizing students’ prior knowledge in analogously similar problems. Flow of electrical current through a conducting medium is analogous to groundwater flow through a porous medium because both are governed by Laplace equation. This analogy was used in an alternate representational approach by the authors in teaching flownet concept...
