TABLE OF PHYSICAL EFFECTS
After finding an appropriate effect, go to ASSESSMENT OF SOLUTION.
This table is a collection of physical effects. It helps in locating of various, sometimes rarely used, physical effects, which could help in solving the contradiction. All possible effects relevant to the case should be studied and carefully considered.
Once you select the physical
effects, go to the web page (below) for more details
