Selda Ekiz is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Selda Ekiz rather than just read about it. In short: Selda Ekiz (born 28 November 1984 in Drammen) is a Norwegian presenter on NRK and is a trained physicist. She grew up in Sande in Vestfold and her parents immigrated from Turkey in the 1970s.

Key takeaways

Selda Ekiz belongs to physics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Selda Ekiz to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Selda Ekiz from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Selda Ekiz (born 28 November 1984 in Drammen) is a Norwegian presenter on NRK and is a trained physicist. She grew up in Sande in Vestfold and her parents immigrated from Turkey in the 1970s.

Background and career She is named after the Turkish singer Selda Bağcan and moved away from home to attend upper secondary school at Skagerak International School. In 2011, she obtained a master's degree in physics from the University of Bergen, and helped to start up the science communication group "Fysikkshow Bergen" (English: Physics Show Bergen). She has been associated with NRK Trøndelag. From 2011 to 2013, she was presenter of the popular science youth program Newton. For the programme, she won Gullruten 2013 as best female presenter and was nominated in the same class during Gullruten 2012 as well as the audience award in 2013. Since 2013, she has been presenter of the knowledge competition Klassequizen on NRK TV. From 2015 to 2017, she was presenter of the popular historical reality series Anno, which dramatized daily life 250 years ago, and since 2018, together with Ole Rolfsrud, she has been presenter of the TV competition Alle mot 1. In 2019, she received the Mensa Norges pris (English: Mensa Norway prise) award for her ability to lower the threshold for children's interest in intellectual concepts, and to inspire children to let curiosity, science and research be part of their everyday lives. In 2020, she debuted as an actress in NRK's drama series Norsk-ish where she played the gynecologist Helin and had a large part of the dialogue in Turkish. For Norsk-ish and Alle mot 1, she was nominated for the audience award during Gullruten 2021. From 2008, she has also performed as a stand-up comedian and was one of three that won "Unheard and Unheard" during the Great Norwegian Humor Festival in 2008.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Selda Ekiz

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Selda Ekiz claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Selda Ekiz before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Selda Ekiz ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Selda Ekiz

In research: Selda Ekiz appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Selda Ekiz in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Selda Ekiz is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1984 births, 21st-century Norwegian women scientists, Living people, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Selda Ekiz outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
