Suharna Surapranata

Suharna Surapranata 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 Suharna Surapranata rather than just read about it. In short: Suharna Surapranata (born 14 December 1955) is an Indonesian physicist and politician from Bandung, West Java. He served as State Minister for Research and Technology in the Second United Indonesia Cabinet between 2009 and 2011, succeeding Kusmayanto Kadiman, until a reshuffle on 18 October 2011, replaced by Gusti Muhammad Hatta.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Suharna Surapranata (born 14 December 1955) is an Indonesian physicist and politician from Bandung, West Java. He served as State Minister for Research and Technology in the Second United Indonesia Cabinet between 2009 and 2011, succeeding Kusmayanto Kadiman, until a reshuffle on 18 October 2011, replaced by Gusti Muhammad Hatta. He is a graduate of the Bandung Institute of Technology and the University of Indonesia. He is co-founder of the Prosperous Justice Party and served as Chairman of the Central Advisory Council (MPP). He is also co-founder of the Scientists Society of Indonesia (MITI).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Suharna Surapranata

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Suharna Surapranata 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 Suharna Surapranata 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 Suharna Surapranata 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 Suharna Surapranata

In research: Suharna Surapranata 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 Suharna Surapranata 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: Suharna Surapranata is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1955 births, Bandung Institute of Technology alumni, Indonesian physicists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Suharna Surapranata 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.
