    Differentiate a thermo equation

    Homework Statement Air at 300K(=T_s) flows over a flat plate maintained at 400K(=T_f). At a particular location on the plate, the temperature distribution in the air measure from the plate surface is given by T(y)=(T_s-T_f)exp[-22,000*y(m)]+T_f Q.Determine the conduction heat flux through...

    Charge through lightbulb(just needs checked)

    Homework Statement An 80 watt light bulb has a current of .5A running through it. What is the charge through the lightbulb after 1 hour? Homework Equations i=Q/T The Attempt at a Solution For this question is the wattage irrelevant because we know current and time? We would...

    Why does a re-formed copper rod have a resistance of 4R instead of 2R?

    Homework Statement A cylindrical copper rod of length L and cross-sectional area A is re-formed to twice its original length with no change in volume. If the resistance between its ends was originally R, what is it now? Homework Equations R=p(L/A) The Attempt at a Solution Using...

    How can the current density and magnetic field affect Earth's total current?

    Homework Statement Near Earth, the density of protons in the solar wind (a stream of particles from the Sun) is 8.60 cm-3 and their speed is about 490 km/s. (a) Find the current density of these protons. 6.74E-7 A/m^2 (b) If Earth's magnetic field did not deflect the protons, what total...

    Surface charge density(error in my work)

    Homework Statement In Figure (a), an electron is shot directly away from a uniformly charged plastic sheet, at a speed of vs = 2.00 106 m/s. The sheet is nonconducting, flat, and very large. Figure (b) gives the electron's vertical velocity component v versus time t until the return to the...

    Electron moving between 2 charged plates

    Never mind, my answer was correct but the system wasn't accepting the format i was inputting it as(which is ironically the format they fed the information to me in)

    Electron moving between 2 charged plates

    Homework Statement at some instant the velocity components of an electron moving between two charged parallel plates are vx = 1.20 105 m/s and vy = 3.70 103 m/s. Suppose that the electric field between the plates is given by Evec = (120 N/C) jhat. (a) What is the electron's acceleration...
