Graphical method of solving problems on bistability in physical systems

Abstract

Solving physics problems is often done superficially, without making an in-depth analysis of the results obtained, limiting itself only to determining the numerical values of some physical quantities. In order to analyze the results obtained after solving physics problems and to more deeply understand the essence of the phenomena that take place, a graphic representation of the obtained results is often necessary. In this paper, we present examples of solving different problems from physical systems for which the effect of bistability occurs. We use the graphical method to analyze the results obtained. We mention that the results presented in this paper are suited for teaching undergraduate students.
