Some common mistakes people make when solving problems:
• Mixing Units• Expressing the Answer in the Wrong Units• Swapping Radians and Degrees• Getting Sines and Cosines Mixed Up• Not Treating Vectors as Vectors• Neglecting Latent Heat• Getting Refraction Angles Wrong• Using the Wrong Rays in Ray Diagrams• Getting the Signs Wrong in Kirchhoff Loops• Adding Resistors Incorrectly
