    Graphing Resistance vs. Bandwidth, why wouldn't go throught the origin?

    I am using Excel and plotting a line of best fit for Resistance vs. Bandwidth. I used the LINEST function to get my values, and it shows that it would cross the y-intercept at around 288 Hz. I am just wondering why when using resistance vs bandwidth it would never cross at the origin. That is...

    Force in a magnetic field. Need help using the equation

    Homework Statement What is the magnitude of the force per meter of length on a straight wire carrying a 6.70-A current when perpendicular to a 0.89-T uniform magnetic field? What if the angle between the wire and field is 45.0°? I know how to do the whole thing, I just can't get my...

    How to Calculate Battery Voltage from Resistor Power Dissipation?

    Homework Statement In the circuit shown, the 33-ohm resistor dissipates 0.50 W. What is the battery voltage? http://phga.pearsoncmg.com/phga2/web/Giancoli6e/Public_Html/Chapter19/Aadxevw0.gif Homework Equations I am pretty sure that I use the equation V=IR, but I am not for sure...

    Calculating work done by an electric field

    Ok I think I figured it out. Tell me if I am wrong. W = -qV, but V is potential E (PE), so therefore V = (PE2-PE1) so... W = -(1.60E-19C)(-80V) = 1.28E-17 J and = -(1e)(-80V) = 80eV did I go about this right?

    Calculating work done by an electric field

    Homework Statement How much work does the electric field do in moving a proton from a point with a potential of +155V to a point where it is -75V. Express your answer in both joules and electron volts. Homework Equations W = -qV The Attempt at a Solution I know that q=(1.6E-19)...

    Field Magnitude and force question

    I guess I am just not understanding. Can you help explain it to me. For one I didn't think that the magnitude changes with distance. I thought it all depended on the amount of charge on a point. This means that if the charges stay the same that it does remain constant along a line of force...

    Field Magnitude and force question

    Homework Statement I am needing help with just a conceptual question. I am wondering how the field magnitude varies with the distance between the field lines and if it remains constant along a line of force. Homework Equations I don't think I use an equation. Maybe Coulomb's...
