from where do chlorine monoxides form? I'm asking this because I'm just wondering if there is a way to direct all the oxygen radicals on its way to react with ozone to a whole bunch of chlorine monoxides to form oxygen gas. Is that possible or what? I'm a guy who likes to teach.

oops...yeah...i know. Nevertheless, how did the e constant come into this equation?

Why is average relative velocity equal to the square root of 2 times the magnitude of the x direction velocity? I'm trying to solve some problems that deal with gas laws from Ideal gases to the Van der Waals gases. Does anybody have any ideas? Thanks.

There's so many derivation of the Maxwell distribution of speeds. Does anybody know a website or a textbook in which one can more easily find meanings behind each of the variables? For instance, where did the "e" come from? Please help!

there must be a way to figure out the small amount of current through resistor1.

the diagram is correct. it is a diagram that i made from another problem that was solvable. I was wondering if this diagram is solvable. the batteries are ideal. so, what else happens beside the circuit being shorted?

|----1(+ -)----| |-----R1-------| |----2(- +)----|there it is. battery 1 has a higher emf than battery 2. how does one figure out the current through resistor1?

v1 of battery1 is higher than v2 of battery2 The circuit is arranged in a parallel way with 3 layers where the only Resistor is in the middle layer. battery1 is on the top layer and the only resistor is on middle layer Battery2 is on bottom layer. The terminals of the battery is not facing...

oh...i haven't gotten to parallel and series resistors set ups. so, if resistors are set up in parallel, you don't add the resistance like you add capacitance...is that right?

i'm not sure if that is correct... look at your standard hairdryer with 2 power settings. the setting at higher power usually creates more heat for your hair drying purposes. the 600 watt setting should not create more heat, and the 1200 watt setting creates more heat. TRY IT YOURSELF...TURN...

this is a hypothetical situation...of course, AC voltage at 60 hz and peak voltage of 170 V is standard in the usa...but just to understand how a hairdryer power setting is setup...DC current is used.

so, with a higher resistance at constant voltage...the current must be lower. If current is lower at higher resistance, the power consumed is lower. so, at 600 watts setting, the hairdryer is connecting to the part that contains more resistance. IS THIS CORRECT? it's a bit awkward because...

A hair dryer hooked up to a DC power supply has 2 power settings. One is 600 watts and the other is 1200 watts. How is a hairsdryer able to have 2 power settings when resistance is constant and the voltage is constant? Am I missing a valuable component inside a hairdryer that allows...

Berkeman??

I don't see where the q from battery goes thru a potential difference of v foe a capacitor. For a resistor, it's evident... But not for a dielectric in a capacitor. Help!
