[Phys-l] Textbook petpeeves: circuits



While we are on circuits, one of my pet peeves is the use of "V" for
potential difference in circuits.

At least at first I'd prefer the use of "Delta V"

So the formula we use for potential difference across a capacitor would
be rendered

Q/(Delta_V) rather than Q/V
