    Find Magnetic Field of an Elliptical Solenoid | Biot-Savart Law

    I tried looking up elliptical cylindrical coordinates and when I saw all of the sinh's and cosh's I got kinda scared... but I did come across something else. I found that for an elliptical loop of current, the magnetic field is: u[0] = 4*pi*10^(-7) I = current a = semi-major axis b =...

    Find Magnetic Field of an Elliptical Solenoid | Biot-Savart Law

    Homework Statement I have to find an expression for the magnetic field of an elliptical solenoid. This is an actual solenoid sitting on the desk next to me, but even an infinite/very long solenoid approximation would be a wonderful start. Homework Equations Biot-Savart law The Attempt at a...

    What Is the Equation of State for a Gas Given Its Gibbs Function?

    That makes sense to me, but what about those 3 initial conditions? This just seems too easy to me >.> F[0](T) = F(T; x = 0) U[0](T) = U(T; x = 0) S[0](T) =S(T; x = 0) What do I do with those?

    What Is the Equation of State for a Gas Given Its Gibbs Function?

    Homework Statement *1* The Gibbs function G(T; P) of a certain gas is: G = nRT ln P + A + BP + (1/2)*CP^2 + (1/3)DP^3 where A, B, C and D are constants. Find the equation of state of the gas.Homework Equations G = nRT ln P + A + BP + (1/2)*CP^2 + (1/3)*DP^3 The Attempt at a Solution I think...

    Are Unit Conversions Necessary for Calculating Momentum in Inelastic Collisions?

    You don't have to convert to SI, but it makes everything so much easier and nicer. I learned physics (and I'm assuming most people are the same... and hoping) all in SI, so to me it just feels nicer :P It wouldn't be difficult; just look up a conversion table on google, or something. For...
