Problem solving revisited
Abstract:
In this paper the increasing problems and need for novel solutions in today's world are discussed. A framework consisting of the combination of the problem-solving process and the creative thinking process is considered. Inherent in each process is a predominant mode of thought: reasoning or vertical thinking in the problem-solving process, and imagination or lateral thinking in the creative thinking process. These processes directed in a complementary manner are suggested as a means of solving problems creatively in situations which call for unique and novel solutions.

Biot-Savart Law: Problem-Solving
Consider a mobile phone battery bank as a source of steady current, which flows through the wire connected between the two. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field created by this current at a field point P?
To estimate the magnitude of the total magnetic field, we first consider a small current element of length dl, at a distance r from the field point. Now the following...
