A core element of every successful educational organization is great leadership. While administrators, teachers, students, and parents have known this for decades, policy makers and thought leaders have only recently begun to acknowledge the proposition that leadership matters…a lot. Of course, conversations about the attributes, behaviors, and characteristics of great school leaders are nothing new. Over the past century, the field has amassed an impressive repository of empirical studies, scholarly literature, conceptual frameworks, and best practice narratives on the subject. Clearly, there is no dearth of information about leadership. However, decades of deep and thoughtful scholarship have yet to reveal a uniform theory of effective leadership. In fact, quite the opposite has occurred. For many of us who have studied and taught about leadership over the years, it seems that the more we learn about great leaders (e.g., who they are, what they do, and how they are developed) the less we know.

Introduction

“Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them to become what they are capable of being.” Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

This perspective rests (partially) with the discomfiting fact that leadership is not a hard science that exists within a well-defined set of causal phenomena, clear operational protocols, or immutable truths. Instead, great leadership is more artful than mechanical, affective than rational, and propositional than determinative. It is a heartfelt endeavor that reminds us of grandma’s recipe for rhubarb pie (a recipe that only grandma could follow with positive effect)--rhubarb, flour, butter, eggs, sugar, and a whole lot of love . Ironically, the more we discover about the complexities of human psychology, the deeply nuanced and subtle characteristics of interpersonal relationships, and the dynamics of social influence, the more challenging our quest for certainty and predictability regarding the attributes of great leadership becomes.

Three charges q_{1}=+3\mu C, q_{2}=+6\mu C and q_{3}=+8\mu C are located at (2,0)m (0,0)m and (0,3) coordinates respectively. Find the magnitude and direction acted upon q_{2} by the two other charges.Draw the correct graphical illustration of the problem above showing the direction of all forces.
Kate Reply
To solve this problem, we need to first find the net force acting on charge q_{2}. The magnitude of the force exerted by q_{1} on q_{2} is given by F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}} where k is the Coulomb constant, q_{1} and q_{2} are the charges of the particles, and r is the distance between them.

what is a capacitor?
Raymond Reply
Capacitor is a separation of opposite charges using an insulator of very small dimension between them. Capacitor is used for allowing an AC (alternating current) to pass while a DC (direct current) is blocked.

which has a higher temperature, 1cup of boiling water or 1teapot of boiling water which can transfer more heat 1cup of boiling water or 1 teapot of boiling water explain your . answer
Ramon Reply
I believe temperature being an intensive property does not change for any amount of boiling water whereas heat being an extensive property changes with amount/size of the system.
Someone
Scratch that
Someone
temperature for any amount of water to boil at ntp is 100⁰C (it is a state function and and intensive property) and it depends both will give same amount of heat because the surface available for heat transfer is greater in case of the kettle as well as the heat stored in it but if you talk.....
Someone
about the amount of heat stored in the system then in that case since the mass of water in the kettle is greater so more energy is required to raise the temperature b/c more molecules of water are present in the kettle
Someone
definitely of physics

Two bodies attract each other electrically. Do they both have to be charged? Answer the same question if the bodies repel one another.
JALLAH Reply
No. According to Isac Newtons law. this two bodies maybe you and the wall beside you. Attracting depends on the mass och each body and distance between them.

Are you really asking if two bodies have to be charged to be influenced by Coulombs Law?
